Transcribe Recordings into Text
Remember the days when you had to jot down notes in college lectures? Well, with Transcribe Assist, you can record the lecture on the Voice Recorder app and easily access the transcript whenever you need it. Here’s how:
1. Open the Voice Recorder app on your Samsung Galaxy phone and select the recording you want the transcription for. Then tap on the Transcribe button.
2. Next, select the language of the recording, and tap on Transcribe. Analyzing the record and generating the transcription will take a few seconds. After that, a complete transcription of the voice recording will be available.
3. You can tap on any word from the transcript to go to that part of the audio recording and vice versa. It can also auto-detect different persons from the audio and label them as Speaker 1, 2, and so on. If you don’t want the speaker labels, you can hide them too.
Tap on the three vertical dots in the top-right corner and select Hide speaker labels.
4. If you find the transcription incorrect or inconsistent you can get it again. After tapping on the three vertical dots (Kebab menu) in the top-right corner, select Transcribe again, choose the language, and tap on Transcribe.
A new transcription of your recording will be generated.

4. After all the changes are made, first tap on Save and then select whether you want to save this as a new recording or replace the original file.
