How to Transcribe Audio to Text for Free Using Microsoft Word (Full Transcript)

Speaker 1: Hello everyone, in this video I will teach you how to transcribe your audios to text from any language and completely free. For this step, it is necessary that you are on a computer or laptop that has Word installed. Here you can see that I only have a completely blank document. Now we will locate the microphone icon, this one that is here. We will click on the little arrow that is below the icon. We will get two options and we choose to transcribe. A new window will be loaded to the right of the document. If we press on top of the little arrow of the tab, language, a list of languages will be displayed. Here you must choose the language in which your audio is. Obviously, I will choose Spanish from Mexico. Once that is done, we press where it says, load audio. We select our audio to transcribe. A bar will be shown to us. That bar has to reach 100%. Then all the text that contains the audio will be shown, as well as the timeline in which the audio is being narrated. Now, to add it to our document, we just press the button that says, add to document. We will be shown four options. If we want to add the text as it appears, over time, we press the last option and, as you will see, it will automatically be added. If you only want to add the text, then choose the option, only text, and that's it. It has already been added. It is very important that, if you transcribe an audio in Spanish, only the audio is completely in Spanish. Otherwise, if there are words in another language in the audio, there will obviously be certain errors in some words. Now I will start a new transcription, but with an audio in English. We repeat the previous steps. Well, here you can see the generated text. It is up to you how to add it to the document. Another very important thing. Here you can see a message that tells us that we can load audios with unlimited minutes, but that may change in the future. So take advantage while you can. That would be all.
