Re-transcribe regenerates the transcript for a recording on Plaud Web — use it when the wrong language was selected or you want to try again with different settings.
What is Re-transcribe?
Re-transcribe takes the original audio and produces a new transcript, replacing the existing one. You can pick the language manually or let Plaud detect it.
Before you start
- Re-transcribing consumes minutes from your account.
- Re-transcribing replaces the current transcript, AI summary, and any notes for the recording.
- Final accuracy still depends on audio clarity, background noise, and speaker volume — re-running the same audio doesn't guarantee a better result.
How to re-transcribe?
- Open the recording.
- Click "…" at the top-right corner.
- Click Re-transcribe.
- Pick the language:
- Auto — let Plaud detect the spoken language.
- Custom generation — manually choose the language.
- Click Generate.
FAQ about Re-transcribe
What if the transcript came out in the wrong language?
This is the most common reason to re-transcribe. See Transcript in the wrong language for the full diagnosis flow, including what to do if re-transcribing doesn't fix it.
Will re-transcribing improve quality?
Not necessarily. Re-running the same audio through the model usually produces a similar transcript. If quality is the issue, improve recording conditions (closer mic, lower background noise, clearer speakers) for future recordings.
Will my notes be preserved?
No. Re-transcribing deletes all existing notes and the AI summary for the recording, then generates new ones from the new transcript.
How do I keep my transcripts in a specific language, such as English?
Re-transcribe the recording and pick Custom generation, then select the language you want. Auto detects the spoken language, so if you always want your transcripts in one language, choose Custom generation instead of Auto.
