Best (most accurate/reliable) transcriber for Windows PC or Android Tablet?
I have a recorded 90-minute telephone conversation I would like transcribed without having to resort to spending days typing it out myself.
Is there anything (apps) out there that can do the trick without skipping or mishearing words/sentences, either on a Windows laptop of Android tablet?
I am the person who recorded it from my end (on my Samsung Tablet) so my voice is clear. The other voice is clear to me but may not be to an app/software. Also, it would be ideal if it could distinguish between the 2 participants (English male, Scottish female) and separate these into different sentences.
Not sure if such a thing exists but I type like an arthritic snail so I am willing to give almost anything a try.
Thanks.

sorted byCertainly! If you’re looking for transcription software for your Windows PC, there are several options available. Let me provide you with some recommendations:
Microsoft Transcribe (Word for Windows):
- Microsoft offers a built-in transcription feature in Word for Windows. It allows you to record directly within Word or upload an audio file. The transcribe feature converts speech to a text transcript, with each speaker individually separated. You can play back timestamped audio and edit the transcription to make corrections. The full transcript can be saved as a Word document or inserted into existing files1.
Transkriptor (Microsoft Store):- Transkriptor is a free speech-to-text app available in the Microsoft Store. It transcribes meetings, classes, audio, and voice to text. You can use it to take meeting notes, dictate interviews, and convert audio and video files to text2.
Third-Party Options:- If you prefer third-party software, consider exploring tools like Fathom, Descript, The FTW Transcriber, Leexi, Spoke, Vxt, Philips SpeechLive, Vatis Tech, Transkriptor, and Machine Learning on AWS3.
Remember to choose the one that best suits your needs and workflow. Happy transcribing! 🎙️📝I have experience of Dragon Pro (nuance.com/en-…tml), though as I mentioned there are many many apps available and a lot are free!
I've downloaded the free month trial of Microsoft 365 as Word has a transcriber facility. Transcribed the 92-minute audio file in a very short time. Not had time to fully check the accuracy but I can see it's definitely made errors, but many humans would probably struggle to understand Liverpolitan and Scottish speakers so it's attempt is probably valiant! It has separated the 2 voices, though, which is what I wanted and will act as a good starting point for me to edit from which will be much, much, MUCH quicker than me having to type the conversation out.
