A while ago I wrote about transcribing audio using Word for the Web and a screen reader. Earlier this year Microsoft made the transcription functionality available for some versions of the desktop version of Word. This blog post has more details.
The uploading, editing and adding to your document part of the transcription experience is the same as I wrote about earlier. With this functionality now available in desktop versions of Word, I took the opportunity to make a brief audio demo of how you use this feature with a screen reader and the desktop version of Word.
There is both an audio demonstration and a transcript of the same.
Kelly, I’m using 365 but not in the insider builds. When it is likely this feature will become available? I have lots of reasons to use it. I’m using windows 10 and of course the latest JAWS build. I hope it is usable with Windows 10. Once my current computer needs to be retired, I’ll get windows 11.
