- Go to office.com and sign in with your Westminster log-in details (or you might already find you are signed in)
- Open Word (you will see the icon for it down the left-hand side) and then “New blank document” to open a new document.
- Click on “Transcribe”. You find this on the drop-down under “dictate” on the “Home” tab.
- Click on “Upload Audio” and find the audio file (such as .mp4) that you wish to upload and open it.
- Word will then transcribe the file. This might take a little while depending on the size. Once it’s transcribed you will see the transcription, but you need to add it to the document. Click on the dropdown down next to “Add to document” (bottom right) to choose options on whether you include just the text or whether you add timestamps etc. (“with timestamps” is probably the most useful so the student knows which part of the transcript relates to a particular part of the recording).
- Once you have chosen the option click on “Add to document” and the text will be put into the Word document which you can now save.
