Great question! The main difference is where the audio comes from.
Live transcription records directly from your microphone in real time -- so you speak and the transcript appears as you go. It is great for meetings, lectures, interviews, or anything you want to capture as it happens.
Importing an audio file works with a recording you already have. You bring in the file and the app transcribes it for you. That is handy for recordings you made earlier, audio sent to you by someone else, or anything you did not capture live in the first place.
Both produce the same accurate transcript -- the only difference is whether you are recording in the moment or working with something you already have.
Hey, this is fantastic, I must try it soon. What is the difference between live audio transcription & transcribing audio files? Thanks.
