ElevenLabs publishes guide on fixing speech-to-text accuracy problems
Overview
ElevenLabs publishes a guide on improving speech-to-text accuracy, saying errors come from audio quality, speaker dynamics, and lexical or contextual issues, and that each needs a different fix.
The guide recommends recording at 16 kHz or higher, placing microphones four to six inches from the speaker, and using voice isolation, diarization or multichannel recording, and keyterm prompting. It also advises measuring accuracy with word error rate (WER). The source is ElevenLabs' own blog, so these are the company's recommendations rather than independently tested results.
