Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This article provides a step by step guide to recording a conversation and submitting it for transcription using the Dictalogic Conversation to Text module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applies to<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All Users<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Record Your Conversation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Conversation to Text works with existing recordings. You can record a conversation using any of the following methods: the Dictalogic mobile app (iOS or Android), a digital voice recorder, your computer’s built-in or external microphone using recording software, a video conferencing platform such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, or a smartphone voice recording app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For best results, ensure all participants are close enough to the microphone to be clearly audible. A central recording device in a meeting room, or individual headset microphones on a conference call, will produce the most accurate transcription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Log In to Dictalogic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Log in to your Dictalogic account via the web portal or the mobile app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Navigate to Conversation to Text<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From your dashboard, navigate to the Conversation to Text module. If this module is not visible, contact your administrator to confirm it is enabled on your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Import Your Recording<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Select the option to import or create a new conversation recording. Choose your audio or video file from your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Add Conversation Details<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After uploading the file, you will be prompted to enter key details, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Conversation Name<\/strong> \u2013 A clear title to help identify the file later<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cognitive Model<\/strong> \u2013 Select the speech recognition model you wish to use for transcription<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Once all required details are entered, click Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 6: Automatic transcription begins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • After saving, the conversation is added to the dashboard grid as a new row<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Dictalogic will automatically begin transcribing the audio or video.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The transcription process runs in the background, no manual steps required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Step 7: View the transcription<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Click on the conversation from the dashboard grid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. The Conversation Detail View<\/strong> opens, displaying:<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. The audio or video player<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. The live transcribed text<\/strong> in a conversation (script style) format<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        This view allows you to follow along with the recording while reviewing the transcription in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Step 8: Share or Export<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Once satisfied with the transcript, you can share it with colleagues or export it for use in reports or other documents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
