If you would like to dictate documents or transcribe audio files in O365, here are instructions on how to do that.

 

Dictate:

  • Open O365 Word online (this does NOT work in the desktop app right now)
  • Open a new Word document
  • Under the Home tab click Dictate
    • A microphone will pop up and glow blue when it is dictating
    • You will see your text appear in the document

 

Transcribe:

  • Open O365 Word online (this does NOT work in the desktop app right now)
  • Open a new Word document
  • Under the Home tab click the small down arrow next to Dictate
  • Click Transcribe
  • Here is where you can upload an audio file or start recording a new file
    • If uploading, it'll transcribe your audio file and upload a copy to your OneDrive
    • It'll also break the recording out by speaker
    • You can edit your transcription as well if you notice the transcription picked up a wrong word.
    • Then click Add all to document and it'll add the Audio file with the transcription beneath it

 

If you choose to Record a new file, you're using Word Online as the audio recorder, and you can still type in your document.  For example, if you're in a lecture and want to record the presenter, it will record them while you continue working in your current document.

 

I'm attaching this YouTube video as a walkthrough for further information.
