What It Does

This app transcribes speech live while you are speaking. It uses the speech recognition built into your web browser, so there is no audio file to upload first.

You start recording, speak into your microphone, stop recording when you are done, and copy the transcript from the page.

When To Use It

Use this app for quick live notes or short spoken passages where you want an immediate draft transcript.

Research Examples

  1. Make quick notes during a research meeting, interview preparation session, or workshop discussion.
  2. Capture short spoken examples during a language elicitation session or classroom observation.

Good To Know

This app depends on browser support for live speech recognition. Chrome is recommended. The current transcription language is English.

You can find this app in the B-TXT toolsuite under Interactive Apps on the VUB-HPC portal.
