Microsoft Word Dictate and Transcribe
In this video I will demonstrate how to use the dictation feature of Microsoft Word and also the transcription feature.
The dictation feature can be useful for those who wish to write up reports, assignments and essays with their voice.
The transcription feature can be used to transcribe a meeting or lecturers. If there are multiple speakers, the software will segment the voices. There are a number of variables to ensure the accuracy of the transcription, and these would include the speaker's voice, the environment, and background noise. Accuracy will never be 100%, and there would be an element of post editing. Nonetheless, it may help those students that may have a difficulty with input i.e. taking notes or typing.
