Audio transcriptions can now be completed within Microsoft Word for the web thanks to a new update available to Microsoft 365 subscribers. An update to Microsoft Word on the web brings new transcription features to Microsoft 365 subscribers. The new feature comes at a time when transcription is in high demand across industries and Microsoft says their technology is as good as their competitors in the space. The new feature is limited to Microsoft Word on the web and will make its way to the app version for iOS and Android devices by the end of 2020. There is no timeline stating if or when the transcription service is coming to desktop Word. Users can record conversations directly into Microsoft Word and have the audio transcribed once the conversation is complete. The text does not appear until the recording is finished and word takes the time to finish analyzing the audio. When using transcription on recordings made within Word users have an unlimited amount of transcription time.
