What is the best audio file to text converter for Transcribing?
Windows Voice Typing + Audio Playback.
After reading the post, I have a tip to share with you, which is to utilize the voice input function and audio player that comes with Windows, and the combination of the two can realize some useful operations. The key is that both features don't need to be downloaded, and you can convert audio file to text by playing the audio and using the voice input feature, which is convenient and efficient!
How to transcribe audio file to text free
You need to make sure that the audio file is clear and audible, then press Windows + S and type Notepad or WordPad to open any text editor. Then we can press Windows + H to start the voice input function (make sure that the microphone is connected).
The voice input toolbar will appear, showing that you are listening. Then you can open the audio file and turn the speaker volume to medium. Tap Play and make sure the microphone is picking up the audio clearly so that Voice Typing will convert the audio from the speakers to text in real time and enter it into the editor, and when it's finished, press Windows + H to stop voice typing.
Finally, we can click File > Save to save it as sample.txt.
This way of converting audio to text with the help of Windows voice input function and audio player is relatively easy to operate. By doing this, you don't need any MP3 audio to text converter when you are using Windows 11 OS.
However, the whole process requires manual operations. It is more suitable for short audio files, and since it is a Windows native tool, users who are familiar with the Windows system will be able to use it smoothly, and the function is built into the system, so you can use it without paying for it, and it can also work normally in the environment without network. However, it has some limitations, as it can only process one file at a time, and the conversion effect is easily affected by background noise and accents, which may lead to errors or inaccurate recognition of the converted text.
