When youвЂ™re finished editing the transcript, you can add it to the document by selecting the вЂњAdd All To DocumentвЂќ button at the bottom of the pane. HereвЂ™s the function of each button, from left to right:

This is necessary if the transcript is long, and you canвЂ™t remember exactly who said what.

If necessary, you can use the playback controls to revisit the audio recording. You can also edit the name of the speaker, as well as every instance where the speaker (i.e., Speaker 1 or Speaker 2) appears by ticking the box next to вЂњChange All Speaker.вЂќ When youвЂ™re finished, click the checkmark. Now you can edit the transcription found in this section. You can edit a section of the transcript by hovering your mouse over the incorrect text and then selecting the pen icon. You might notice that the transcript doesnвЂ™t perfectly reflect the recorded audio accurately. If Word canвЂ™t detect multiple speakers, youвЂ™ll just see вЂњSpeaker.вЂќ If Word detects multiple speakers, youвЂ™ll see вЂњSpeaker 1,вЂќ Speaker 2,вЂќ and so on. Microsoft automatically separates the text by the speaker. Each section will have a timestamp, the speakerвЂ™s name, and the transcribed text. Once this is done, youвЂ™ll see the transcription appear in the same pane you recorded the audio. It may take a few minutes for Word to finish transcribing the audio recording and uploading it to OneDrive. You wonвЂ™t see the transcription happen live as youвЂ™re speaking because Microsoft found that to be a bit too distracting during its testing.ДЄfter youвЂ™re finished, click the вЂњPauseвЂќ button and then select вЂњSave and Transcribe Now.вЂќ
