Microsoft’s Office 365 is a leader when it comes to new features. Microsoft’s latest web app is packed with things you didn’t even know you needed. Microsoft recently added a new feature that lets you transcribe your audio recordings. In the age of virtual meetings and video conferencing, this is a welcome update to the app.
How to Record and Transcribe Audio in Microsoft Word for the Web
With most interactions now happening online, organizations have a lot of recordings just sitting there. It can be hard work, not to mention time-consuming, to transcribe each recording into a written format. That’s why Microsoft introduced a new “Transcribe” feature in Word that essentially handles your audio recordings for you.
The Transcribe feature allows you to upload your own audio file or record audio directly from the Word web app itself. All you have to do is give the website permission to use your microphone and the app will do the rest. The Transcribe feature is incredible because it can identify the voices of different people. The transcription is generated and separated by the different voices that are recorded. You don’t even have to mention how many speakers are present; the app can identify that itself!
