Transcribing audio can feel like a time-consuming chore, but with the right approach you can transcribe audio quickly and accurately. Whether you’re converting interviews, webinars, or meeting recordings into text, these easy steps will help you transform your audio files into searchable, editable transcripts in minutes.

Step 1: Choose Your Audio Source

Start by gathering the recordings you want to transcribe audio from. This could be:

• Pre-recorded interviews
• Meeting recordings from Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet
• Voice memos captured on your phone or recorder

Having all your files organized in one folder will speed up the upload process and keep everything on track.

Step 2: Upload to Notta

1. Click “New Transcription.”
2. Select your audio or video files (up to 5 hours each on a free plan).
3. Choose your language or enable bilingual transcription if needed.
4. Hit “Start” and let Notta work its magic.

Within about 5 minutes for an hour-long recording, you’ll have a fully transcribed document, complete with speaker labels and timestamps.

Step 3: Review and Edit the Transcript

Even the best AI can mishear accents or technical jargon. Notta provides an intuitive editor where you can:

• Play back the audio alongside the text.
• Click any line to jump to that moment in the recording.

This ensures your final transcript is polished and professional before you share or export.
