![]() Otter.ai is FREE for 600 minutes per month. Now before I tell you a single thing about this tool, hold onto your hats for the price. ![]() A few minutes later he sent me a nearly perfect transcription of his recording.Īndy explained that the tool he used was a speech to text app from Otter.ai. I wrote back and asked him whether he had a script for it so I could make a blog post, and he said that he hadn’t written one, but he’d get one. Remember the the review Andy Dolph did about QLab for timing audio and video, and he talked about music timing to go with a Christmas train? When he sent that in, he only sent the audio. For years people have been trying to create automated ways to do it, and I think Otter.ai might finally deliver on that dream. So what if you’ve got the audio content and want a transcript of what was said? Even if you’re not a podcaster, what if you have meetings where you’d like the full text for later reference? Transcription services are enormously expensive and take a lot of time because it’s a really annoying thing to do by hand. I’ve heard from people with severely limited bandwidth to a guy who is deaf/blind and reads the show on his Braille display. Over the years though, I’ve gotten lots of positive feedback for providing the script of my shows. In fact, I don’t know anyone who does it this way. ![]() I realized that there are those who would rather read than listen, so why not just give them the full text?īut this process is certainly not for everyone. I even tried writing just bullet points to remind me of what I wanted to say, but I found that I was writing full sentences and then editing them down to bullet points. While I can sound articulate when speaking on mic to another person, when I’m alone my speech is filled with “ums” and “ahs”. I have found over the nearly 15 years of podcasting that I don’t speak well as a solo speaker without a script. You have probably figured out that I create my content as a podcast and also as a series of blog posts.
