Merixstudio mainly contributed to enhancing the player for video or audio. Apart from simply playing the material, users could also control it by clicking on text to jump to the specific point in audio or video simultaneously. When the media player was taken care of, the next thing we were responsible for making the transcribed text as clear for users as possible. That’s why we introduced speaker identification which allows users to set the identification to differentiate between speakers.

Another issue we addressed was helping users to easily navigate the text when playing the transcribed file. We achieved that by adding the function of highlighting the text (similar to karaoke), which is synchronized with the spoken word. In addition to that, we introduced comments which also are based on highlighting particular parts of the text.

One of the most interesting features we implemented was also a confidence heatmap which defines the value in the audio/video file transcribed into text. Once a user clicks the heatmap button, the words get coloured depending on their confidence score - with that, words that have the biggest possibility to be incorrectly transcribed by the algorithm would be coloured red. 

Finally, all users work is private by default, but the application allows users to share a preview of the transcript. A user can export the final results to Word, TXT, PDF or SRT and VTT for the use as subtitles.
