The program will highlight words in blue as it plays the recording. Use the play bar at the bottom of the conversation to listen to the audio recording. Point your mouse over speech bubbles to reveal the Edit and Copy tools for that specific text section. Keywords from the conversation are automatically generatedĬopy or Delete the entire conversation using the commands on the upper right. Title: 'Note' is the name of the conversation example shown below. The title appears in large text at the top.

Transcriptions are called 'Conversations' and may be viewed, edited, and shared from your phone or the Otter.ai web site.

The screen will change showing a pause and stop button. Start recording with automatic transcription by a tap of the blue microphone. Log in with your Augsburg username and password.

Selecting your Augsburg account will pass you through our Inside Augsburg gateway.

However, you could use any Gmail account or even make an account in Otter.ai if you prefer (slightly more private as Otter.ai will ask for access to Contacts and Calendar). Setting up your account in this manner keeps you from having to create a separate password for Otter.ai. Once your account is created, you will be able to continue to log in with Google.

Download the Otter.ai app to your phone via the Google Play (Android) or Apple App (iPhone) store.

Audio files previously recorded may also be uploaded into the web browser and transcribed.Ī slight pause of 2 seconds or less between the interviewer's question and the interviewee's answer helps the app to recognize and separate the voices.

The transcription can be edited on the phone by long tapping a speech bubble or by logging into Otter.ai via a computer's web browser. To be tested: 1) Does it work where there is no phone signal?Ģ) Upload audio file 3) Improved voice recognition by person? Try sitting across from each other with Carmen to see if it is better able to recognize our voices. Although it does not promise to be perfect, I would give it 4 out of 5 stars! The transcription is completely automated. This app is useful for recording interviews which it translates from speech to text using artificial intelligence. The Otter.ai mobile app works on iPhone as well as Android devices.
