There are a few limitations with this feature: it requires a Microsoft 365 subscription, as noted. This can be done with just the text, with the speakers labeled, with timestamps, or with speakers and timestamps. And you can replay the audio in the Transcribe pane, and it will indicate the location in the transcription as you skip around.įrom here, you can add the transcription to the new document. You can edit the names of the speakers if you’d like. When it’s done, the transcription will appear in the Transcribe pane. The time each operation takes will be based on the size/length of the recording.
Word for the web will need to upload the file first they’re stored in a Transcribed Files folder that will appear in the root of OneDrive and can be deleted later.Īnd then it will be transcribed. I use Upload audio to transcribe audio and (despite the name) video files. There are two basic choices here: Upload audio and Start recording. When you click that, the Transcribe pane opens. Then, in the simplified ribbon, find the drop-down control next to the Dictate icon (which looks like a microphone).
To transcribe an audio or video file, open Word on the web ( > Word in a web browser) and create a new, blank document. If there’s a “Show transcript” option, you’re good to go. Side-tip: to see if a YouTube video offers a transcription, click the “…” link at the end of the line of icons below the video’s title and description.
This is a Microsoft 365 feature that my wife uses regularly for the Zoom-based interviews she performs each week, and I’ve used it recently to transcribe Microsoft event videos for which YouTube doesn’t have transcriptions. Word for the web offers a useful feature not found in the desktop version: it can transcribe the speech in audio and video files.
