Challenges in Bangla Transcription
Bangla presents unique linguistic and technical challenges:
-
Dialects and accents: Regional variations such as Sylheti, Chittagonian, or Rajbangshi can affect comprehension.
-
Code-switching: Frequent mixing with English, especially in business or academic contexts.
-
Homophones and context-sensitive terms: Requires expert human judgment.
-
Poor audio quality: Background noise, overlapping speakers, or unclear pronunciation often occur in raw recordings.
Because of these challenges, human transcription is often more accurate than automatic speech recognition (ASR) tools, especially for nuanced or technical content.
