[Hidden-tech] audio file to text / doc file?

Thu Sep 8 12:00:11 UTC 2022

I can't tell you whether the transcription feature works in the free
version of zoom. I pay them $16 a month and it is well worth it to me.
Especially now that the free version cuts off conversations with no warning
at 40 minutes even if there is only one other person in the room. But I can
tell you that I've used the transcription feature many times. It is not
intuitive, as you have to enable closed captioning, then click on full
transcript then save the transcript every once in awhile so that you still
have some of it if you lose your connection.
