Audio file transcription

[toyheart]

Hi, just notice Dropbox can transcript video files, it's a very useful feature. 

But why not support audio transcription? Will this come soon?

Hey @toyheart, thanks for posting on the Community and happy Friday!

While this isn't an option at the moment, you can post your idea in the Share an idea section so that other users can upvote it and share their feedback and interest in this functionality too.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello!

I'm excited to share that we now support transcription on audio files as well and hope you find this useful! Please let us know if you have any other feature requests or see issues with the feature.

Thanks for being a Dropbox customer 🙂 

Best,

Hi Hannah:

We have discovered that audio transcriptions can only occur for audio of 105 minutes or less. Our audio is 2 hours, 37 minutes and 40 seconds - is there a way to break up this audio file into separate 105 minutes? Thanks. Ann67

Hey @Ann67, sorry to jump in. 

Audio transcripts are currently capped at 105min indeed, and it’s not possible to bypass this. 

Our team is currently working on it though, and they’ll provide more details as soon as there’s an update.

Hi Hannah I am excited to hear this only I can't find any information how to do this? Can I do this in the app or only on my desktop?

Hi @russellsignage, you can follow these steps to create an audio transcript on the Dropbox site.
