    I have a work colleague who has been to a meeting and using her Android phone has recorded the meeting. It is 50 minutes long. It is saved in WAP format. She was wondering if there is an app or something that can transcribe the meeting from the voice recording into a digital / electronic document e.g. into a Word document. With the popularity of voice recognition and AI is there something out there somewhere that can do this?

        You should search for 'speech-to-text'... There are even online tools you may test to see if it meets your need... (I played with Voice Notepad - online - once, but not seriously)

              Pick up the phone (on the landline), don't compose any number and simply state that you need the transcript of that conversation. Your government already has it and will send it to you asap.

                I had used Dragon Naturally Speaking in the last millennium. In those days, it was not very accurate and I had trouble even guessing what I had said in order to correct it. However, I would hope that it is a much better product by now with additional years of refinement and with faster, more powerful PCs that can support more advanced recognition algorithms. You can get a free trial version.

                  Is it possible to do so without making the video public? It is after all audio of a meeting, with work-related and customer-related details.

                            For a 50 minute long meeting you are better off transcribing it yourself. Since it's a meeting there will probably be difference people speaking. It may take you 2 hours to transcribe it - however cleaning up a badly auto-transcribed file may take longer.

                                    Does it have to be an app? [Speech recognition](https://www.windowscentral.com/how-set-speech-recognition-windows-10) is built into Windows nowadays. You could hit Play on the phone, and place it right next to your PC's microphone so it transcribes it into, say, Notepad. I have *no* idea how well it'll work...but there's nothing to download and you can try it right now. I suspect there's a lot you'll want to re-edit by hand.

                                        I have a work colleague who has been to a meeting and using her Android phone has recorded the meeting. It is 50 minutes long. It is saved in WAP format. She was wondering if there is an app or something that can transcribe the meeting from the voice recording into a digital / electronic document e.g. into a Word document. With the popularity of voice recognition and AI is there something out there somewhere that can do this?

                                        Transcribe Through “YouTube” Go to YouTube and upload your video file. If you have an MP3 audio file, you may use a tool like Windows Movie Maker, iMovie on Mac or FFMpeg to convert the audio into a video file before uploading to YouTube. Wait for YouTube to completely process the video. The machine transcriptions may not immediately become available after uploading the video.
