4. Using Live Transcription

Live transcription is the heart of Lux Media Hub. It's not just about seeing words on a screen—it's about connecting sounds to spelling, understanding pronunciation, and never missing a word again.

How It Works

When you click "Transcribe," our AI system processes the audio in real-time using advanced speech recognition optimized specifically for Luxembourgish. Unlike generic transcription services, we've trained our system to handle:

• Luxembourgish-specific phonetics and pronunciation
• Code-switching between Lëtzebuergesch, French, and German
• Local names, places, and cultural references
• Regional accents and speaking styles

Making the Most of Transcription

Best practices for language learners:

1. First Listen (No Transcription) Try listening without transcription first to test your comprehension. How much can you understand naturally?
2. Second Listen (With Transcription) Enable transcription and listen again. Watch the words appear and connect what you hear to what you see.
3. Focus on Problem Areas Use word-clicking to replay sections where you struggled. Slow down the speed if needed.
4. Take Notes Keep a notebook of new words and phrases you encounter. Review them weekly to build vocabulary.

5. AI-Powered Summaries

Not everyone has time to listen to a 45-minute broadcast. That's where AI summaries come in—giving you the essence of any episode in seconds.

Three Types of Summaries

1. Quick Summary (30 seconds) - The main points in bullet form. Perfect for deciding if you want to listen to the full episode.

2. Detailed Summary (2-3 minutes) - A comprehensive overview with key quotes, statistics, and context.

3. Multilingual Summaries - Get summaries in Luxembourgish, French, German, or English. Great for checking your understanding.

6. Comprehensive Mode: Deep Cultural Understanding

This is where Lux Media Hub truly shines. Comprehensive mode doesn't just translate—it explains, contextualizes, and educates.

What You Get

• Cultural Context: Understanding references to Luxembourg holidays, traditions, and history
• Idiom Explanations: What does "et geet op d'Petz" really mean?
• Political Background: Who are the key players? What's the historical context?
• Local References: Places, institutions, and people mentioned in the broadcast
• Language Notes: Why certain words are French vs. German vs. Luxembourgish
