Improvements and disadvantages of tl;dv
Terminology Recognition Accuracy

Real-time editing is not available.
- Transcriptions cannot be edited during the meeting, and can be checked and modified only after the meeting is over. tl;dv generates transcription data after the meeting is over, so
Limitations in Japanese language support for recorded data
- The operation screen is provided in English only, making it difficult for Japanese speakers to use in some situations.
- Also, Japanese-language support is not provided, so inquiries about tl;dv must be communicated in English.
Limited data storage period for free plans
- The free plan has a limited retention period for recorded data, and if long-term retention is required, the user must move to a paid plan.

After signing in, the screen will transition automatically. Follow the announcements to enter settings for automatic recording and memo sharing, language, job description, etc.
You’re asking for tl;dv’s inflow path in the initial initial set-up phase, good work.
You will be asked whether you want to install the desktop application or use the browser version as is. This time, I will use the browser version.
You will then be redirected to the Chrome Extensions screen, and click “Add to Chrome”.
A tl;dv tutorial video will play. When you are done, click on the Test with Google Meet button.
Integration with web conferencing tools
Connect the web conferencing tool to be used (Zoom, Google Meet, etc.) to tldv.

The “Meeting Note Taker” will request your participation, and you will accept.
Meeting recording and automatic transcription
Once “Meeting Note Taker” joins the meeting, automatic transcription will start.
Then simply close the meeting or press the Stop Recording button to end the recording.
How to check recordings and transcriptions
Open the tl;dv site. You will then see that the recording you just made has been saved.
Select the recording you wish to review and press the Play button to review the recording.
To review the transcript, click on the recording you wish to review, then click on the “Transcript” tab
The results of the transcription will then be displayed.
Interview AI automatically corrects to a natural conversational style
The tl;dv transcription function is useful, but when the transcription results are used in an article, there is a lot of revision work to be done, especially on filler words.
With Interview AI, transcription results are automatically corrected to a natural conversational format. Simply upload an audio file for transcription and automatic correction to a natural conversational format.
