How can we transcribe a record file to a word document?

To transcribe a recorded audio file to a Word document, you can use audio transcription software or services that convert audio files into text. Here’s a general approach:

1. Transcribe the Audio: Use an audio transcription tool or service to convert the recorded audio into text. For example, you can use Foundry Local's transcription API to transcribe audio files into text. You would typically create a C# console application to handle this.
2. Copy the Transcribed Text: Once you have the audio transcribed into text, copy the text from the transcription tool.
3. Paste into Word: Open Microsoft Word and create a new document. Paste the transcribed text into the document.
4. Format the Document: You can then format the text as needed in Word, adding headings, bullet points, or any other formatting options you prefer.

This process allows you to effectively transcribe audio recordings into a Word document for further editing or sharing.

Dear @Dang, Chi Phuong (Hanoi),

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

If you have Microsoft 365 subscription and the latest version of Word, to transcribe an audio recording into a Word document, you can use Microsoft Word’s Built-in Transcription Feature.

• Go to Home > Dictate dropdown > Transcribe
• In the Transcribe pane, select Upload your audio file (supported formats include .mp3, .wav, .m4a).
• Word will process the file and provide a transcript.
• You can save the full transcript as a Word document or insert snippets of it into existing documents.

For more information, please refer to Transcribe your recordings and Microsoft 365 saves you time and effort with transcription and voice commands in Word

Regarding the Foundry Local's transcription API, Foundry Local provides an on-device audio transcription API that lets you convert recorded audio files into text without requiring cloud connectivity. It uses models like Whisper for speech-to-text and supports integration via SDKs (C#, Python, JavaScript) or REST API. This is ideal for privacy, offline use, and cost efficiency. For more information, you can refer to Transcribe recorded audio files with Foundry Local
