Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system, method, and computer program for creating a complete transcription of an audio recording from separately transcribed redacted and unredacted words. The system receives an original audio recording and redacts a plurality of words from the original audio recording to obtain a modified audio recording. The modified audio recording is outputted to a first transcription service. Audio clips of the redacted words from the original audio recording are extracted using word-level timestamps for the redacted words. The extracted audio clips are outputted to a second transcription service. The system receives a transcription of the modified audio recording from the first transcription service and transcriptions of the extracted audio clips from the second transcription service. The transcriptions of the extracted audio clips are combined with the transcription of the modified audio recording to obtain a complete transcription of the original audio recording using word-level timestamps.
