Free Automated Transcription?
Posted by on 2020-05-14 at 9:55 PM
I know it has been talked about and I have followed it and tried some things. I haven’t found a good solution yet. I wonder if you have found a place online to drop your two hours or more audio file from zoom or your computer and then receive a written transcript. Thanks for your suggestions.

In my humble opinion, there just isn’t a good solution, particularly not a free one. My husband channels and we have transcribed the sessions for two years now.For the first year and a half, I did it – it takes me 1 hour per 15 min of recording. Then, we used Fiverr and found an unbelievable person to transcribe for what we felt was a reasonable price (I think it was $35-40 per hour of recording).Around January, we asked for and manifested a volunteer to transcribe for us for free….she’s amazing and we are so thankful!The thing is, we need pretty close to 100% accuracy because of the multi-dimensional messages coming through, and unless you are willing to go back over the transcripts to check for accuracy, there is a chance you’ll miss something – small words can make a big difference in meaning. The non-human programs just aren’t there yet.

I believe I saw an option on Zoom to pay extra for automated transcripts. Has anyone tried this?

I just found this. I wonder if this only works when you save to the cloud? https://uvacollab.screenstepslive.com/s/help/m/integrations/l/1075541-how-can-i-add-an-audio-transcript-to-my-zoom-recording

I don’t have that option but there is an app marketplace where you can connect a transcription service. I haven’t seen if any of the services are free, however.
I know that gotomeeting offers transcription when saving to the cloud but they don’t have a free tier.
