First, open a blank Google Doc and select Tools then Voice Typing from the top menu. A microphone icon will appear on the left side of your screen. Before you start, make sure that your audio or video file is ready for transcription. If you're working with a video file, you'll need to extract the audio data and store it in a Cloud Storage bucket or convert it to base64encoding.
Once you have your audio data ready, click on the microphone icon to activate Voice Typing. Start speaking, and your words will appear on the screen as you talk. If you need to pause, you can click on the microphone icon again to stop the transcription. When you're done, click on the icon again to stop Voice Typing.
It's important to note that the accuracy of the transcription will depend on the clarity of the audio and the absence of background noise. You may need to edit the transcription for accuracy, particularly for proper names, technical terms, or industry jargon.
In addition to Voice Typing, there are other transcription tools and services available that you can use to transcribe your audio and video files. Some of these tools offer advanced features such as automatic timestamps, speaker identification, and collaborative editing. However, they may come with a cost, so it's essential to evaluate your needs and budget before choosing a transcription tool.
