ElevenLabs guide: transcribing interviews with Scribe v2 AI speech to text

ElevenLabs explains how to use its AI speech to text tools for interview transcripts, covering verbatim mode, speaker labels, audio event tags and keyterms.

Announced by ElevenLabsPublished Checked

Summary

ElevenLabs published a how-to guide on transcribing interviews with its Scribe v2 speech to text model. It covers choosing verbatim or clean style, getting speaker labels right with multichannel recording, tagging non-speech events and adding keyterms for names and jargon. You can work in the no-code Playground or through the API.

What changed

  • Verbatim is the default; clean transcripts come from a Playground toggle or the no_verbatim API parameter.
  • Multichannel transcription gives each speaker's microphone its own label, which helps with cross-talk.
  • Audio event tagging is on by default and can be turned off in Playground or the API.
  • Keyterm prompting lets you set spellings first: up to 1,000 terms on Scribe v2, 50 on Scribe v2 Realtime.
  • Playground exports to .txt, .docx, .pdf, .json, .html, .srt and .vtt.

Founder takeaway

If you record interviews, record each speaker on a separate microphone and use multichannel mode. Add names and jargon as keyterms, then review the draft by hand before quoting anyone.
