Can you make a video showing the benefits of Microsoft 365 for organizations? I'm glsd to have a Edu Microsoft 365 account. But I'm having trouble convincing or showing my supervisors about why Microsoft 365 would be essential to our organization, especially such as with Microsoft Power Automate. I love your videos KEVIN!
God bless, Kevin!! Not only did you save me so much time, but you also saved me a fortune. FYI, I was able to use Word to transcribe a TWO HOUR meeting.
I was looking for videos on how to use Whisper AI and this video showed up on the side panel. Over time, I've learned to watch your videos first over other suggestions, because you are on the spot and go straight to the point. Your tutorial not only it saved me a lot of time from setting up the required software environment for python and Whisper, going thru the learning curve, testing, and actually waiting for the process to run thru a 1h+ audio of a meeting, but the final product from Word was excellent and possibly better than the alternative. Plus, now I have a simple procedure that anybody at work can follow, not only IT personnel. I transcribed the audio of a meeting with 9 speakers and was able to identify each one perfectly, following the steps you showed. Thank you very much.
Love this tip. I found it helpful for creating and uploading transcript captions for UA-cam videos too - the only issue I run across is speaker/audio file length - I think once an audio file is longer than 13-14 min, Word tells me the file is too big to transcribe 😢
I cannot see the dictate or transcribe functions on my version of MS word (Mac) (have checked Ribbons and Toolbar settings). Does that mean my version of MS word is too old?
0:43 "Over on the right-hand side on the ribbon, there's a category called voice" - no, there isn't. How do I get "voice" to be there, or is "voice" only available on certain versions?
Thank you for sharing! I had no idea 365 had this ability. I tried it with a WAV file and it saved SO much time. Now I only need to edit some words because Spanish was mixed in the conversation. I appreciate you sharing your research and knowledge.🙂
This video was incredibly helpful! I was this close to buying a program, but I felt intuitively guided to your message instead. I completed my task in minutes, effortlessly and for free! Thank you for the amazing tip-it was awesome! I have subscribed!
Can you tell me if it has Roumanian language to translate in to? And the text used in this version , is supported on an old version ? I want to use this at home , and then move the text on the word from office, because i don't have the posibility to have this word at office. Thank you❤
Hi Kevin, I can't find this feature on my Word applications, both under Windows and on Mac. I can find it on the web version of Word. Is it a new feature still reserved to Insiders, or maybe it is restricted to users for certain countries? My office 365 is in French
Thanks so much for this! I'm currently trying to transcribe an interview for my Spanish class, and it's taking a really long time, so this is a big help!
I found that your solution works perfectly. My only problem is that while the transcribing is going on, I cannot use any other software, etc. The cursor needs to remain in Notepad (in this instance). Any advice?
It's not perfect, but it's very convenient. For me, Word transcribed more accurately than Whisper AI using the small model in my language which is Swedish. I couldn't try the medium and large model with Whisper due to limited memory. So thankfully, MS Word did the trick in my particular case. Btw, I gave up on Colaboratory after problems uploading the files or mounting Drive.
A great tutorial. It's such a pity that once you've created the transcript, you can't share the document with audio with other people. It's also a pity that there is much greater functionality if you record the audio (live) directly into Word as the text being read out later is highlighted in Word. Again a real pity that if you share the finished document, the audio file isn't linked to the document , so when you share it , they just get the text and have no simple means of following the audio synchronised. Something for Microsoft to add as an enhancement to Office 365?
Hey, I have Word on my MacBook and can't find the Transcribe option there, I only see the Dictate one. Could it be that this feature is not included in the Mac version?
Hi, you may use the web version, it should work like the way it did in the video the problem for your case maybe is because the word that you installed was outdated or just because the mac doesnt support, web version can solve your problem
Press the windows key + shift + L and that opens live captions in windows. It’ll give captions for any audio on your pc or sound through your mic and display on screen.
Is there a software, preferably free, other then Microsoft Word and not browser or AI based, that converts audio to text. I just did a search and all I could find was browser or AI based options. I don't have Microsoft Word, that's why I'm asking.
I ran identical files through and found that Whisper is currently more accurate. That said, Word has a nicer and easier to use UX. This is as of May 30, 2023 and could change in the future.
It seems that my uploaded files are in the "transcribed files" folder. But how do I add them to a Word document after the fact? I don't see the sidebar on the right anymore, and if I open it again, the only option seems to upload the file again, which will go off the minutes of my monthly upload budget for transcribing files. How do I add them to a new Word document now? Where can I find the transcribed text, because all I see in that "transcribed files" folder is the audio files.
Thank you so much Kevin, your videos are excellent !! You are a great Teacher and I always learn so much in these master classes. Thank you today and always. Best Regards.
I am an IT guy in my office. Someone on my team was looking to transcribe some audio files, so I Googled and realized it was built in to Word. I followed the instructions, which are the same as you present here. I tested it and it worked just like they needed it to. I told them about the feature, but their Word doesn't have the option for Transcribe, just Dictate. I again Googled what's up, and I've seen several people referencing that the feature is only available in the online version of Word. Except, I'm not using the online version of Word. Any ideas? Our whole office is on Office 365.
Hi Doug, I was able to add it using Customize the Ribbon, then in Choose commands from, change to All in the dropdown. I had to create a New Group as my Word requested a Custom Group. I named the group Voice2 and it appears as Voice2(Custom), then dragged it to appear under Voice on the rightmost menu for Customize the Ribbon. Highlight your new Voice2(Custom) group, then on the All Commands menu, scroll down until you see Transcribe and choose Add to move it into your Group.
This must be a newer version of word. I have 2013 and the home screen looks nothing like the home screen you are showing. Is there another way to transcribe a recorded phone call, converted to mp3, into text without spending a lot of money on something I might use 2 or 3 times? Thank you
Good evening. I have a strange Microsoft question. I just started studying law and we are requered to use the SAJHR(South African Journal on Human Rights) referencing style. Is it possible to upload this referencing style to Microsoft Word?
I am having the problem that this feature loads the audio file (not a large file) to 94% and proceeds no further. When googling this on the Microsoft site, many people have this exact situation. Microsoft offers no solution. I tried different computers. Any fixes you know of?
Help Kevin!!!!! So thank you for this video. I need to transcribe an audio recording to text for an upcoming hearing. Very important. I purchased Microsoft office 365. Downloaded it. Go into word and I do not have the dictate & transcribe icons. I'm going to believe it's something simple. Please advise. Thank you. Sharman
Captured a snatch of Kevin's video, but found that I couldn't delete the OneDrive wav file. OneDrive implied it couldn't because it didn't exist (sic). Feedback sent to MS. Anyone else discover this 'bug'? Otherwise, a brilliant addition, with immense language learning possibilities. Great instruction, as ever, Kevin.

which version of word did you use for it ?
My mobile version won't do the transcribe function. It has dictation and voice to text but not ability to upload mp3 files for transcribing.
I learn new things each time I watch your videos. You ate duch an awesome presenter! Thank you so much.
I’ve been using Microsoft 365 for years, but only found out about this feature now! Thanks a lot for this video!!!
Love this tip. I found it helpful for creating and uploading transcript captions for UA-cam videos too - the only issue I run across is speaker/audio file length - I think once an audio file is longer than 13-14 min, Word tells me the file is too big to transcribe 😢
I have just transcribed an audio file that is 1 hour and 23 minutes long. Perhaps they have improved the transcription function recently.
@@KC_79 awesome!!
I cannot see the dictate or transcribe functions on my version of MS word (Mac) (have checked Ribbons and Toolbar settings). Does that mean my version of MS word is too old?
You are probably using the 2021 version this feature only comes in Microsoft 365 subscription.

Hi, what is the audio file size limit for upload ?
I was just able to get a 2 hour meeting transcribed!
Your videos are really informative, you're one of the only UA-camrs who provide accurate information without talking misleadingly or talking nonsense.
can you transcribe incoming VoIP calls using this method? thank you for the video.

Thank you Kevin. You are awesome. - from Dubai UAE
Thank you very much on this great presentation. Nice when a person speaks clearly and doesn't go so fast like many people from foreign countries.
i love you my man, really helpful in a tough moment in my life where time is extremetly valuable for me
Can you tell me if it has Roumanian language to translate in to?
And the text used in this version , is supported on an old version ? I want to use this at home , and then move the text on the word from office, because i don't have the posibility to have this word at office. Thank you❤
This is so helpful. I appreciate the straightforward guidance and our ability to use a program that many of us have access to. Godspeed.
You are a good teacher. I have well understood everything 😊
Awesome as usual. Thanks Kevin.
Great video. But at the end you said "Onedrive" instead of "Onenote" 😁.
Yeah, I noticed while transcribing the video, but was too far along to edit at that point ☹️ good catch!
You Deserve A Like, Buddy!👍🏻
Was looking for this! ❤
Thank you very much for sharing this incredibly useful info! Saved me a ton of trouble.
Hi Kevin. Is transcribe a good tool for recording your autobiography BOOK?
Thanks a bunch, Kevin 🤩❤️
Hi Kevin,
I can't find this feature on my Word applications, both under Windows and on Mac. I can find it on the web version of Word. Is it a new feature still reserved to Insiders, or maybe it is restricted to users for certain countries?

I think you need a Microsoft subscription.
I cannot find it on Mac or online, I'm in the UK does that matter?
Thanks Kev! Can I ask if this transcription still has limitations? Many thanks!
Hey Kevin or anyone else that could know, what monitor are you using?
I have a dell ultrasharp 43 inch as my primary monitor and a 27 inch as my secondary.
Thanks so much for this! I'm currently trying to transcribe an interview for my Spanish class, and it's taking a really long time, so this is a big help!
I found that your solution works perfectly. My only problem is that while the transcribing is going on, I cannot use any other software, etc. The cursor needs to remain in Notepad (in this instance). Any advice?
Is there a different platform or option for this other than Microsoft?
No transcribe option in my Office365 word!
You are great! I learned a lot from you! 😊
I couldn't find the transcribe on my Microsoft Word. There is no Voice tab :(
It is only available in Word Online.
Thanks soo much. Can you do the same in Google Docs?
You were sooooo good at explaining this..thank you so much!
Extremely helpful! Thank you!
how did you make it pick up on your punctuation? its works for me but all the audio is in one lot, and distinct between 2 voices
Thank you from Brazil
Thanku it helped me a lot
Can we do same process for writing Equations or Maths problems.
Is there an audio device with the built-in transcriber and or diction ability?
It's not perfect, but it's very convenient. For me, Word transcribed more accurately than Whisper AI using the small model in my language which is Swedish.

What a time saver! Thanks!
Does the Word Mobile App have the Transcribe functionality?
Thank you for the advice! This will save my fingers❤
Wow! I didn't see this function in Word! Thanks!
Any way to transcribe a live video, without importing it into word?
Press the windows key + shift + L and that opens live captions in windows. It’ll give captions for any audio on your pc or sound through your mic and display on screen.

I'm gona use this at work!
Can you do this with Microsoft Office 2016? Or does it need to be Microsoft Office 360?

@@SynthoFunker I know it has the ability to record and I think text to speech, I'll check into what you said. Thank you
Hey Kevin can you make a video about how to make ID cards for multiple employees together (Batch processing).
Thank you Kevin 🤗
How does the accuracy of audio to text compare to using whisper? Or is this powered by whisper??
I ran identical files through and found that Whisper is currently more accurate. That said, Word has a nicer and easier to use UX. This is as of May 30, 2023 and could change in the future.
Great Video if it is possible to do this same thing in Libre Office could you make a video on how to do that thanks
Gracias Kevin! very useful!

What about punctuation and creating paragraphs?
I don't seem to have a voice tab with an option to upload? I have a 365 sub?

Still not have option for "Transcribe"? I mean Filter sensitive phrases, how we can off this. It works only for "Dictate", but not for "Transcribe".
