Transcribing Questions

Did the Transcribing Fail?

Try to restart. Is this didn't help, contact eXpress support.

How Long Is Transcription Stored?

The transcription is stored on the server for 90 days by default. The period is set in the File Service section, in the Voex transcribing field.

How to Stop Recording and Transcription Without Losing Those Already Started?

Open the VoEx section, clear the Enable ability to record calls and Enable ability to transcribe calls check boxes, and click Save. New recordings and transcriptions will not start. The server will finish and send the recordings and transcriptions that are already in progress. This way, you can prepare the transcoding and speech recognition (ASR) services for shutdown.
