Last week, Microsoft announced Transcribe for Word on the web. You can read that announcement here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2020/08/25/microsoft-365-transcription-voice-commands-word/

Now reporters (or anyone with a Microsoft 365 license) can create a transcript of an online meeting, an in-person conversation, or a prerecorded file.

This is a great tool for journalists because:

• They can quickly get transcripts of their interviews
• They can drop a key quote from a conversation directly into the story they are writing
• They can hand the transcript and audio file directly to their fact checker
• They can spend more time reporting and less time typing

Here are five 90-second videos that show you how to use different elements of this feature. Check them out and start saving time today!
