In short

Transcribe audio in Word step by step
- 1
Record or upload
The recording is made in Word and saved to OneDrive, or an audio file of the computer is uploaded to be transcribed.
- 2
Fix the names in the editor
A wrong name in the text is corrected in the editor. The correction moves no timestamp: the line keeps the moment it was said.
- 3
Copy the part you need
Every line of the text carries the moment it was said, so a quotation can be copied with its own timecode.
- 4
Wait for the text, not for the file
The upload of the Word recording is quick; the engine reads it once and hands the whole text back as a document.
What comes back from the engine
- TXT
One segment per line, the way a person wrote it down. It is the format to paste into a ticket, a chat or a document.
- TXT, CSV
The start and the end time of every segment, and the speakers named separately when you ask for it.
- SRT, VTT
SRT and VTT with the time of every line, so the recording can carry its own subtitles.
- Markdown, DOCX
The transcript is edited through the API and exported as Markdown for a wiki, or as DOCX for a review.

The case
What the recording does not give you
The work that follows the Word recording waits for a person with an hour and a half. Nobody plays a recording twice from the beginning, which is why the text of it has to exist on its own. The file of the Word recording is read by our own engine, and what comes back is a document with the time in it.
Tips
Turn on the split by speaker when more than two people talk in the Word recording.
Give the speakers of the Word recording their names in the editor, one time, and export again.
Send the audio track of the Word recording when the platform gives you both.
The audio of the Word recording is smaller than the video of the same call.
Export SRT when the Word recording has to become a subtitled video.
