AI transcription app. Or there are companies that do it professionally. It depends what standard you need really.

Hi, it doesn't need to be professional standard. But I'm a bit at a loss as to which AI App to try.

Is the recording in English? If so, run it through MS Word's auto transcribe function, then proofread and correct manually.

Otter Pro but the free version is limited to 45 mins so don’t run over!

Many thanks all, I will check these out.

Otter is pretty good but I need more than their free offering abnd find Rev the best. I pay a monthly subscription though I think they have a free trial too

You can go into a site like UpWorks and offer the job out. Either offer generally (lower fees, not necessarily the best work) or limit the offer to transcribers with experience, UK based etc, for a higher fee.

Play it on one computer or phone to another computer or phone and have teams on and teams will transcribe it for you.

Although I've found cockatoo good as an ai app.

... and this is why 90 wpm transcribers, like myself, are struggling to get work. AI is taking over and making humans redundant. Sad.

Thanks all for these suggestions. And yes, @happyinherts it is sad that humans are being displaced. The march of AI...
