It only takes one simple mistake in punctuation or spelling to completely change the structure of your work. If you’re asking your grandma to eat and you forget to add a comma, you’ll end up saying “let’s eat grandma” instead of “let’s eat, grandma.” Commas save lives, and business practices.
When we speak, we don’t think about commas or punctuation- our diction automatically includes it; however, when we utilize audio transcription services- they might not always include those necessary commas and instead have filler words (such as like, oh, um) that can dramatically reduce the quality of our transcription.
That’s when OneAi’s Language Studio Skills come into play. The Proofreading Skill on OneAI takes audio transcriptions and reduces any filler words and speech errors, and for any business it’s incredibly important. First and foremost, poor grammar can damage the credibility of blogs, case studies, how-to guides, and other digital marketing resources - instantly tarnishing SEO and losing potential clientele.
When we’re taking the effort to create an audio transcription, we care about the results and advantages it’ll bring our businesses. We don’t have to let our hard work go to waste by forgoing one extra step - that’s actually incredibly easy.

The Language Studio
First, let’s jump to OneAI’s Language Studio.
The studio is in the picture below. The tool input is where you can enter your audio, alongside it is the pipeline box which includes all our Language Skills.
Underneath the pipeline box, you can see the Language Skills, which are different ways we can apply the AI to the content provided. There are different skills we can apply, such as ‘Summarize,’ ‘Proofread,’ ‘Names’, etc.
Today we are going to see how “Proofread” works. In today’s example we will use Taylor Swift's NYU's 2022 Commencement speech. This website will help us download Taylor’s speech as an MP3 audio.
Now, let’s get back to the Language Studio and upload the obtained audio file. Once you do this, you will instantly get the “Transcribe Audio” Language Skill placed into the pipeline box. Add the main hero of our article - the “Proofread” and press “Run Pipeline”.
Here are our results:
We successfully proofread the audio and generated a new output with 19 replacements made.
Pay attention also to the yellow notification badge on top of the “+” sign. It hints that you can use additional Language Skills:
Here are the Language Skills that were detected on top of those we already selected:
Now copy your code and proceed to your code editor.
In the code editor:
Step 1: Pick one of the generated codes you need to your code editor (click here to generate your own API key):
Step 2: Run “pip install oneai” for Python SDK or “npm install oneai” for Node.js SDK to get the library. Make sure to import all the required packages:
```
import oneai
import base64
oneai.api_key = "[YOUR ONEAI API KEY]"
```
In our example, we used Python SDK code. Here is what we got when we run all the skills together: transcribe and proofread:
```
with open("AudioFile.mp3", "rb") as f:
pipeline = oneai.Pipeline(
steps = [
oneai.skills.Transcribe(),
oneai.skills.Proofread(),
]
)
transcription = pipeline.run(f)
```
Let’s check our outputs:
