Unlike Dictate, Transcribe doesn't automatically add the audio to the document. To save your changes, select the Confirm icon. To change all instances of a label, select Change all Speaker. In the Transcribe pane, hover over a section you want to edit.Įdit the content or change the label. You can also edit the content of a section to correct any issues in transcription. You can edit the speaker label and change all occurrences of it to something else. The transcription service identifies and separates different speakers and labels them 'Speaker 1,' 'Speaker 2,' etc. Select the timestamp of any transcript section to play that portion of audio. The relevant transcript section highlights as it plays. Use the controls at the top of the Transcribe pane to play back your audio. The audio file, whether recorded or uploaded, is saved to the Transcribed Files folder in OneDrive. You can interact with the transcript in a few different ways.

If you close and reopen the pane or close and reopen the document, the transcript remains saved with the document.

Your transcript is associated with the document it’s attached to until you remove it. Feel free to do other work or switch browser tabs or applications and come back later. Keep the Transcribe pane open while the transcription is being made. Transcription may take a while depending on your internet speed. When finished, select Save and transcribe now to save your recording to OneDrive and start the transcription process. Resume recording by selecting the microphone icon. Pause recording by selecting the pause icon. Leave the Transcribe pane open while recording.

Start talking or begin a conversation with another person. Wait for the pause icon to be outlined in blue and the timestamp to start incrementing to let you know that recording has begun. That way, the recording can pick up the sound coming out of your device. If you want to record and transcribe a virtual call, don't use your headset. For example, if your computer's microphone input is set to your headset mic based on the last time you used it, it won't work well for picking up an in-person meeting. Be careful to set the correct microphone input on your device, otherwise results may be disappointing.
