Tiivistelmätranskriptio

Tiivistelmätranskriptio, which translates from Finnish to "summary transcription," is a process that involves condensing a longer audio or video recording into a shorter, more manageable text format. This is achieved by selectively transcribing the most important parts of the original content, omitting less crucial details or redundant information. The goal is to create a concise representation of the original material, highlighting key points, decisions, or conclusions.

This technique is particularly useful in situations where a full verbatim transcript would be overly long or impractical. For example, in business meetings, a tiivistelmätranskriptio could capture action items and key discussion outcomes without including every word spoken. In interviews or lectures, it might focus on the main arguments or answers, providing a quick overview for review or reference.

The creation of a tiivistelmätranskriptio typically involves human transcriptionists or advanced AI tools that can identify and prioritize significant content. The effectiveness of the summary depends on the skill of the transcriber or the sophistication of the algorithm in discerning what is truly essential. It differs from a verbatim transcript, which aims to capture every spoken word, and from abstracting, which might summarize without directly quoting. Tiivistelmätranskriptio aims to retain the essence of the original in a condensed textual form.
