Case Study: Mauthausen Memorial achieves searchable oral history archives with Amberscript

Mauthausen Memorial turns hundreds of interviews into searchable transcripts with Amberscript

The Mauthausen Memorial, an institution for Holocaust remembrance in Austria, faced the challenge of transcribing its extensive archive of complex oral history interviews. These recordings, often featuring poor audio quality and strong dialects, required accurate transcripts for research. Their previous methods, using a mix of in-house and external providers, resulted in inconsistent accuracy, high costs, and a significant manual workload. They partnered with Amberscript's human-made transcription service to solve this.

Amberscript provided a solution by delivering transcripts that met strict academic standards, consistently following detailed guidelines even for the most challenging audio. The results transformed the archive into a fully searchable resource, drastically improving research efficiency. The Memorial eliminated previous quality inconsistencies and now enables researchers to find specific information in seconds, a process that was once extremely time-consuming.
