Dropbox audio transcription feature

Hi,

I have three questions to ask you:

 

1. I upload an audio file, I have Dropbox AI transcribe it into words, I see on the side that the text is divided in short paragraphs (I think breaking between different people talking), and then when I copy the text and past it into .Word, it pastes it into one big chunk of text. Is there a way to copy it and past it maintaining the paragraphs?

 

2. Also, if there a different way to produce a .Word or similar document out of the transcript without having to copy and paste it and thus run into the problem I encountered?

 

3. It seems to me that AI Dropbox is quite accurate in the transcription. Is there any way for me to improve the quality of the transcription besides recording the sound/interview in a quiet place and with a good recorder? I tried doing this with a good IPhone, but I can also record the interviews with a Zoom recorder (which quality should be better).

 

Thank you for any tip or answer!

UCT

    Thank you Walter.

    I just checked. The audio length that can be translated with Dropbox is 104 minutes. It would be very good, if it could be more, like 120 MINUTES.

     

    Thank you, Ugo
