Imagine if you have been tasked to transcribe a large audio file to text and you were hoping to open a word processor, play the audio file, and start typing away. Unfortunately, you would end up spending most of your time rewinding the audio, constantly switching tabs, or checking to see if you missed anything. Luckily the transcription process does not have to be this tedious.
With the help of professional transcription software, you can significantly reduce the time it takes to convert audio to text and make your life much easier in the process. Express Scribe is the most comprehensive audio transcription software and has everything you need to help you transcribe audio to text faster.
How to Transcribe Audio using Express Scribe
