The feature will allow you to “convert speech to a text transcript, with each speaker individually separated”.<o:p></o:p></p><p>This feature makes the process of transcribing hassle-free. The feature provides users with two options for users to achieve this task. First up, is that you can record directly in Word. Alternatively, you can upload an audio file.<o:p></o:p></p><p>To access this feature, open Microsoft Word on your Windows PC and allow it to access your Mic. Navigate through <strong><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Home > Dictate > Transcribe</span></strong>, then select the <strong><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Start recording </span></strong>in the <strong><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Transcribe</span></strong> pane. It will start recording the meeting automatically, you can click on the <strong><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Save and transcribe now </span></strong>option once the meeting ends.<o:p></o:p></p><p>If you already have a recording, you can upload it by navigating through <strong><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Home > Dictate > Transcribe</span></strong>. At this point select the <strong><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Upload audio</span></strong> option in the <strong><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Transcribe</span></strong> pane. You’ll now need to select the file you want to upload from the file picker, then hit the <strong><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Open</span></strong> button.<o:p></o:p></p><p>It should be noted that the feature currently supports .wav, .mp4, .m4a, and .mp3 formats only and works with 80+ languages. It is rolling out to Beta Channel users running Version 2302 (Build 16107.20000) or later.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Do you find this feature useful?
