Transcribing Audio and Video Files with Automated Speech Recognition on Galaxy

Audio and media files are a rich source in the social sciences and the humanities. But how can you make your audio and visual material accessible for structured analysis?
You will need to transcribe the media content into machine-readable text first. This tutorial shows how you can do this by using the data analysis platform Galaxy - all from within your Browser. The platform contains several tools for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). From uploading and converting to suitable file types to transcriptions and post-processing, Galaxy has you covered.

If you are new to Galaxy, we recommend you take a look at our Introduction to Galaxy first.
