To get the best transcription results, make an effort to have the following characteristics in your recording:

• A good microphone (directional, eliminating ambient sound, using earphones...)
• No echo or noise
• Absence of background music (or with this on a different track)
• Correct and complete sentences, with no repetitions, corrections or hesitations
• Formal register
• Standard language
• A single speaker
• Adequate volume, neither too loud nor too soft
• Proper speed, neither too fast nor too slow

• A subtitle file (i.e., the transcription and the time stamps for each sentence or phrase, so that conventional audio or video players or web browsers can understand and display them) in different formats: SRT, VTT, etc.
