Eddie is currently designed to work best with interviews/speech which have clear dialogue. This allows Eddie to accurately process the audio, understand the context, and deliver high-quality edits.

Change default language via Settings

Eddie auto-detects the language spoken in your videos. It may make a mistake and you can force Eddie to transcribe using a specific language by going into the settings and selecting the desired language.
