You can simply scan the text for the key phrase, dab your finger on that part of the transcript, and the audio will play from that point forward. As with most of these services, the accuracy of the transcript isn’t gobsmacking, but it’s more than good enough if you’re recording a memo or interview and later want to jump straight to the part of the audio where they mention something specific. This mode can convert up to five minutes of speech into text, which is transcribed on the fly and appears on screen as you or your interviewee speak. It was while fiddling with the Voice Recorder app on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge this week that I noticed a previously undiscovered recording mode – Speech-to-Text. I was one of them until this week.Īs a journalist, I occasionally need to record interviews with people I meet, and I normally turn to the bog standard voice recorder app installed on the phone I’m using at the time. It would be a new low for The Big Tech Question if the answer were no, wouldn’t it? In fact, a few hundred million people have already got an app installed that can convert speech to text, they just don’t know it.
