      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?

      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.

          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.

            Upload the file to youtube and then extract the auto generated transcribe text as mentioned in below post [Is there a way to extract the automatically generated subtitles in YouTube? - Quora](https://www.quora.com/Is-there-a-way-to-extract-the-automatically-generated-subtitles-in-YouTube)

              Dragon Naturally Speaking is the best. Our patients disabled used it when I worked at the hospital. Over the years it has improved very much. The problem, for your colleague, is that the voices, at the meeting, will be all different. The software works best with one voice though, as a joke, I tried the set up that one of the female occupational therapist had made and with my voice (male) it was about 80 to 85% accurate, much to my surprise! I must point out that we had the same accent and this part is very important. It is conceivable that with a combination of Dragon and transcribing it still might save some work. :) Good luck, Mike

                    Dragon Voice Writer works good. I think you need Professional to transcribe from a file instead of a microphone. Teaching it to recognize your voice takes about 15 minutes. After version 10, it got pretty darn accurate. ... Careful, it can tell if you've had a couple beers. :) (A Ray Kurzweil product... I think.)

                      Google Docs does this... under the Tools menu choose "Voice typing..." You might be able to play the recording into the microphone, or if the quality isn't very good you may need to actually listen to the recording using headphones or something and then use your own voice to repeat everything said in the meeting.

                        The youtube feature is the best. But honestly. It would take about 2hrs to just slow down the recording, and type it as they go into a computer. And you could probably capture who said what better. I use voice recordings (snippets of facts only) and then type them up later, adding back in the pertinent details all the time.

                          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've been told that such recording is illegal and would probably result in at least being fired. Is this in the US or UK or Australia?

                              "Voice recognition" generally requires "training" the app (for a given "voice"). You cannot take any old recording and just "convert" it; unless the app is "very" sophisticated (which usually means "expensive").
