# Transcription Generator

Turn audio or video recordings into text quickly and accurately with Tess AI.

### **How to Transcribe with the Generator?**

The process to transcribe an audio or video file in Tess AI is simple and intuitive. Transcription can be done in two ways: using the specialized agent (Transcription Generator) or directly in the chat, with control over language and AI model.

To use the Transcription Generator, follow the steps below:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access the generator">
    Access Agent Studio: In the platform’s left side menu, find and click "Agent Studio". Click Transcription Generator;

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate the transcription">
    Request the transcription using the “Tess, generate it for me” button. The AI agent will process the file and, in moments, deliver the full transcription directly on the screen, on the right side. From there, you can copy the text wherever you need.

### **Tips for a high-quality transcription**

To ensure the transcription is as faithful as possible to the original audio, consider the following best practices:

<Card title="Audio quality">
  Prefer audio with clear sound, no background noise, and with speakers talking slowly and clearly.
</Card>

<Card title="File formats">
  The platform is compatible with the most common audio and video formats, such as MP3, MP4, WAV, and M4A.
</Card>

<Card title="Languages">
  Our agents are able to transcribe audio in multiple languages. For best results, make sure the audio’s language is spoken clearly.
</Card>

### **Everyday use examples**

The transcription feature can be a great ally in many situations. See some examples:

* Meetings and interviews: Turn long meeting recordings into minutes or text documents for quick reference.
* Classes and lectures: Transcribe classes and lectures to make studying and reviewing content easier.
* Content creation: Use video transcriptions as a base for captions, blog articles, and other materials.
