You literally saved my dam life!!!! I have a job taking meeting minutes! I record them on my iphone and literally replay and listen to the dreadful recording and write/ and or type away. Which killed me. My sister told me how doctors use apps etc. Your video Thank God for you. I got a MS account and tested what you showed! You saved me. God bless you!

[@growqueen]

I'm the same. I hate taking meeting notes. I am going to give this a try. How you finding it?

[@jenniferkveton5440]

I can’t believe I’m just discovering this now. I take meeting minutes too and it’s so stressful to capture everything just right. I’m going to give this a try to see if it helps. Thank you.

[@adrianal3269]

@@growqueen I went back to just listening the audio on my recording via iphone. The Word Transcribe; I still had to correct words, misspellings, and still edit correctly; which took too much time.

[@growqueen]

@@adrianal3269 oh no ok.

[@angelicanesu4261]

How funny because I have been given the same job of taking minutes and I will not let it kill me 🤣🤣

[@nerrisacolon7680]

I am a teacher who has had to learn how to teach my students from a distance digitally. Your videos have been a life saver. I've learned so many new things from you. Thank you soooo much!

[@robertschoen7791]

This is great. I was looking for something like this 2-3 years ago. I'm a financial advisor and in today's environment the more documentation the better. Recording a meeting and identifying speakers is just what I need.

[@bethsabath]

Did it work ?

[@eclecticshenanigans]

My is in the middle of the long dementia goodbye and I’ve been recording his life story. I haven’t been able to listen to the recordings because it’s too emotional. Having the ability to transcribe them with Word is a game changer for me. This tutorial means more than you could ever know.

[@Megwilson2801]

Kevin, your content is so helpful. Anytime I’m wondering how to do something, I go to you since I know you’re going to teach me how in a clear, concise way. Thank you.

[@dianewebb206]

Coming into this 3 years after your video because I needed something like this today. Never knew you could do this in Word and what a life changer this is for me. I won't have to spend hours or lots of money getting something transcribed.

[@brian1801]

There are people on KZbin I wish well, but few I wish as well as you, Kevin. The value you provide (and the time you never waste) is invaluable. Just one outstanding video after another. Hope whatever it is want in this world, you receive.

[@flyingmerlin2]

as a student, I can see this is an invaluable feature! Thank you for sharing.

[@tommytaylor4239]

Kevin you are a bloody genius. I was faced with transcribing two files. Both would have drove me to drink. Ever with the errors it will still save me a shed load of time. Thank you so much

[@claudius_de_little_god]

Kevin, at this point, you are my BEST FRIEND at this point!!!!!

[@matrixate]

I just noticed this on my Office 365 last night! That and Gramnarly makes writing so pleasurable!

[@deborahlovel6337]

THIS. IS. GENIUS.!!! Wow...I have some audio recordings of interviews with my grandmothers and I am going to try them out with this new feature! Thanks, Kevin, for the tutorial....

[@drdheerajtumu7419]

Kevin, ur one among the few people who help me increase my productivity.

[@SeitzlerStrategies]

Kevin, you've done it again! You continue to save me time by showing me tools which are already at my fingertips but I hadn't yet mastered. Thanks!

[@carlosjr8642]

Genius!! I had a job transcribing interviews. That was hell. I can really appreciate this.

[@gedi_del]

You are great at explaining things clearly so that anybody could understand it easily. Thanks a lot, Gedion from Ethiopia ,Hawassa

[@monetauniverse]

Hi, I am from the Philippines ang I am very glad that I found your video, it's a stress-free for me to start working in a transcription company. Thank you very very much! I love you! ♥♥♥

[@sbaidoo25]

OMG, you saved me so much time. I thought I had to listen and type everything manually? 😂 ...thank you so much.

[@billj8968]

Incredibly useful and very timely Kevin! I'm sure students will love this and find it useful in all their courses. Hoping it works for online lectures delivered remotely for students as well in live-feeds but I guess we'll know soon when the new semester starts! Have a great day Kevin!

[@GonzaloArangoF]

If a good explanation is clear and short, it is twice as good.

[@VeraWill]

This is extremely helpful. I'm in an organizational behavior course and have to transcribe an interview. This saved me so much time. Students, like this comment if you're here and in grad school lol. hahaha, at the Kevin with a deeper voice.

[@UOMODAFFARI]

I am doing a qualitative research, and this video saved my life 😭🤷🏾‍♂️🙅🏾‍♂️.

[@g.s.3450]

Extremely helpful, well done video on a very important topic for those of us who are Wordsmiths. Also, many of us who work with foreign languages (translators, linguists) have migrated a large part of our work away from Microsoft Office 365 to tools such as DeepL Translator, Google Suite, etc. However, MS Word has some very powerful language tools, that deserve to be highlighted and explained properly. Please consider a mini-series of four or five video on Word's translation, transcribing, spell checking, and other foreign language features built into Office 365. Most people are not even aware of what is already built into this suite. Thank you for your video on Transcribing in MS Word. You know how to explain things logically with hands on examples. The production quality of your videos, i.e. light, sound, audio, pronunciation, etc. is extremely well done. Keep up the good work.

[@raindrops21_9]

You're my new hero. My boss has suddenly discovered the joy of recording meetings and they're long and nightmarish to transcribe manually. Bless you - you're doing god's work haha!

[@gorettizoma6943]

Fantastic! Thanks Kevin. I will be using this to transcribe my dissertation interviews! Your presentation was simple, yet on target! Thanks again!

[@louisastbartholomew-brownm3174]

Thanks so much Kevin for being a life-saver. I suffer terribly from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my dominant right hand. This software will definitely help me to record and transcribe minutes of meetings, record letters, etc.

[@savioluis7431]

Thanks a million. Not sure why some people dislike some great advice as if they knew it and are jealous about you bringing it to us first.

[@IntoTheVillain_]

This will save me so much time listening to 2 hour long lectures this will help manage my time very well

[@user-xk8xf8mu5r]

I haven't heard about this before watching you and I was tired from long and exhausted writing 😔 It is very helpful and saving time god bless you many thanks 😊 🙏

You saved me!!!!!!!!!!! I recorded a zoom interview for a course but recorded to the computer rather than the cloud. I needed to have it transcribed and did not want to do it manually. This was AWESOME!!

This learning is just in time for my research study since I have to transcribe qualitative data taken from interviews. This feature is a big help. Thanks Kevin!😍

[@churd1976]

I will use this for transcribing meeting accurately. I am so excited. Thanks

[@brichter4669]

Awesome feature! I have had to transcribe audio manually, and it is time consuming and a pain in the butt. I will be using this feature for much quicker transcription. Will have to keep an eye out for words that may not translate accurately, but that should be easy to do. Thanks for sharing this feature, Kevin.

[@khadijahamda5438]

Thank you soo much for simplifying this for me.

[@marlenawarthan2797]

I am so happy to find this video. My children gave me a gift called Story Worth where I record answers to questions about my childhood/life, and send it to Story Worth in text form to be made into a book. I think I can do all the steps, plus editing with this method!

This looks really helpful and straight forward. I hope they give us an option to raise the number of minutes per month for times when we have more items to transcribe..

[@andredove486]

Amazing, Just did an interview today. I tried to access this by using safari but the transcribe button wasn't showing. It wasn't until I switched to google that the transcribe buttion appeared. This saved me a great deal of typing. Thank you!

[@ddwilliams82]

Wow! I'm only halfway through the video and had to stop to add a comment! I recorded an 11 min audio of notes for a discussion post that I needed to transcribe. For some reason, it wasn't uploading to transcribe in the app on my phone, so I began to panic. Nevertheless, KZbin university came to the rescue when I came across your fantastic video! In addition to learning how to transcribe my recording, I learned features I had no idea existed! Thanks for saving my day and efforts!

[@thilokm522]

Great feature! I love the new audio transcription features in M365. Im especially looking forward to transcribing Teams meetings live. Unfortunately this new word feature seems not to be available for me yet. In all my M365 subscriptions the "transcribe" button under "dictate" is greyed out. Is there a different rollout schedule for different countries?

Thanks for this, now I don’t have to worry about the limited minutes I had with other transcribing platforms.

[@signalmas5673]

Thank you Kevin. I’ve been using dictate option more in the covid times as I no longer share close quarters with co-workers. Transcribe is good to know, thank you for sharing. My question is how to dictate punctuation, new paragraphs etc... so I won’t need to come back and edit my text to define where sentences end.

[@cathe8762]

I use this in my team meeting but the problem I have is that it can’t identify some words eg Covid and also paragraph, coma or full stops
