My company has replaced hundreds of human transcribers with a speech to text model.

DeepL is actually really good a lot of the time.

When was the last time you checked the status of machine vision, because the problem you suggested is not hard for it anymore.

Your company can only pull the rug like this because the public is not very picky it seems.

A real human transcriber still outperforms any automated system in existence.

My company performed extensive accuracy testing and lets people choose to use a human transcriber if they want. Most people are perfectly happy to use the machine transcription. You are just seem bitter. Did an AI steal your wife?
