Word’s transcribe feature allows users to convert audio recordings or live speech to a text transcript. Each speaker is automatically separated and after your conversation, interview, or meeting, you can revisit parts of the recording by playing back the timestamped audio and edit the transcription to make corrections. You can save the full transcript as a Word document or insert snippets of it into existing documents.
