The voice recording support is offered for multiple audio file formats, currently available for Word users who have a Microsoft 365 subscription.
Microsoft has brought transcriptions to its Word service, thus making it easy for people to record interviews or lectures and copy them or edit directly in Microsoft Word. The feature will let users record conversations using other apps, while the option to directly record in Transcribe also exists.
The voice recordings will support .mp3, .wav, .m4a, as well as .mp4 files. It is currently available for web users of Microsoft Word who have the Microsoft 365 subscription.
“Whether you’re a reporter conducting interviews, a researcher recording focus group sessions, or an online entrepreneur recording informal discussions, you want to be able to focus on the people you’re talking to without worrying about taking notes and without having to spend hours transcribing your conversations after-the-fact,” said Dan Parish, Principal Group PM Manager, Natural User Interface and Incubation, Microsoft said in a company blog.
