Hello everybody and welcome back to my channel,
Jennifer Marie VO, where I teach you different ways that you can
make money online working from home. If you're one of my
subscribers, you know that a lot of my videos focus on
transcribing and becoming a paid transcriptionist. I have a very
big playlist with 14 different videos on transcription tools,
tips and tricks to transcribe faster and get more jobs. And a
lot of these videos focus on how to transcribe audio to text
automatically and for free. And one of my most popular tutorials
is this one how to auto transcribe audio to text and I
teach you how to use otter.ai. And when I made this tutorial
back in April, it was free to upload up to 600 minutes per
month, and you could upload an mp3 file and have it
automatically transcribed. Now since I've released this video,
they have made a limit of only your first three uploads, and
then you have to get a premium membership. So a lot of my
subscribers don't have the money to pay for a monthly membership,
especially when transcribing is such a low paid job. So I have
been asked what is an alternative. And finally, I have
come across this website, which does an excellent job completely
for free and you do not need to sign up or do anything. I hope
that they won't take down this website because this is an
excellent website that you can use for free. So the website I'm
going to show you how to use is this speech to text demo, it's
speech dash two dash text dot demo dot n g dot bloomix dotnet.
I will put the link in the description because it's quite
long. But what this is, is it as a speech to text demo service.
And this demo is powered by Watson speech to text which if
you see here, it's a cloud native solution that uses deep
learning AI algorithms to apply knowledge about grammar,
language structure and audio voice signal composition, etc,
etc. This is with IBM. So they use this for apps and all sorts
of things. And you have to pay to create an account and I guess
you would get more features and whatnot. But if you just go to
this little demo site, you don't need to pay anything. And you
can transcribe audio for free. And it's awesome. I was so
surprised to find this. So basically, once you go to this
website, you can scroll down here, this is the the website
transcribe audio, you can either use your microphone to record
audio, or you can upload pre recorded audio. So what you're
going to do is under the voice model, you can select whatever
language you're speaking So first, let's try this out just
with the record audio. So say you just wanted to type some to
say something and have it automatically transcribed.
There's also keywords to spot I'm just going to erase this and
I'm just going to click on record audio. And then you'll
have to click Allow for this website to allow your microphone
to work but let's just do a little test. Hello, I am doing a
little demo to see if this website works perfectly. Okay,
great. So as you can see here, I've just clicked stop to stop
the audio recording and it has transcribed to what I have said
You can also click on another language so I speak Spanish
obviously I have an accent when I speak Spanish but let's try it
I'm going to put in Castilian Spanish. I'm gonna erase these
keywords. And I'm going to click record audio on avanos Thea so
Jennifer e estoy provato esta Patino m per se funciona bn
Okay, so as you can see it works well except I chose transcribed
Jennifer's Geoffrey maybe the way I said it, but either way
you can see it's transcribing it in Spanish and adding the
accents and everything else which is excellent. Okay, so
when you want to record something again, you cannot
actually highlight this text and click Backspace to erase it, you
can only copy and paste text that's here. So what we'll do is
either right click and choose reload, or just click and press
enter to restart the page. So what I'm going to do this time
is I'm going to try uploading an audio file. So I'm going to go
ahead and races keywords I don't know if you have to raise the
keywords I just want to and I'm going to click Upload audio file
then locate the file you want to transcribe the text so I have an
mp3 file and I'm going to click on it. Hello everyone and
welcome back to sparkle English where I teach you how to improve
your level of English. Today's mini lesson is on the difference
between through and through. It is very common for English
language learners and even native English speakers to get
confused how to spell these words since they sound exactly
the same. Let's learn the difference between these two
words. Okay, excellent. So as you can see it has transcribed
the entire file that I have just submitted into here. Now you
have to let the entire file go through you if you click stop.
So for example, if I were to do that again and click on the
sample: Hello everyone and welcome back to sparkle English
where I teach you how to improve your level of English today's
mini lesson On the difference between through and through, it
is very common for English language learners and even
native English speakers to get confused how to spell these
words since they. Okay, so I've just clicked stop, and now you
can see it has stopped and you can't actually continue it.
Again, this is a free website. So I'm not going to complain
about something like that. But if you have like a five minute
file to transcribe, just press play and just leave it and let
it transcribe the entire file, and then come back and you can
copy and paste the file into your word where Microsoft Word
or Notepad or whatever you're using to make edits, okay, you
cannot edit here, you have to edit in some other sort of text
editor. So I've gone ahead and reload this page. And now I want
to show you about the other feature, which is detect
multiple speakers. So what you can do is if you click on detect
multiple speakers, what it will do is if there are more than one
speaker in a file, it will put speaker zero speaker one,
Speaker two, etc. and try to identify the voices and that
there are different speakers within the same file. So we're
going to test that with one of their samples. And just go ahead
and click Play sample one and play through to the end.
Unknown: So thank you very much for coming, David. It's good to
have you here. Great. It's my pleasure, Michael, glad to be
with you. How real is artificial intelligence, the question of
How real is artificial intelligence is a complex one, I
would say
Jennifer: Okay, so as you can see here, it has done a pretty
good job of transcribing automatically the file it has
speaker zero speaker one and it goes back and forth like that.
And another thing I wanted to show you is that while you're
transcribing the file, because like I said, you have to wait
until the entire file automatically transcribes, you
can still use your computer and be on YouTube and do what you
want while it is reading the file. You just have to leave,
leave it going and you can use any other tabs. So I'm going to
upload my sparkle English sample again. And then you'll see me go
on to YouTube and a few other tabs. And you'll see that it
will still be transcribing here, even though I'm using other
windows and tabs and doing other things on my computer. So click
this, click open and you'll see what I mean. Hello, everyone and
welcome back to sparkle English, where I teach you how to improve
your level of English. Today's mini lesson is on the difference
between through and through. It is very common for English
language learners and even native English speakers to get
confused how to spell these words. Since they sound exactly
the same. Let's learn the difference between these two
words. Okay, so once you've left your file, and it has completely
transcribed now you have to copy and paste it into a text editor.
So what you have to do is click and highlight everything within
the window box within this text box, right click go to copy, you
can also press Ctrl plus C on your keyboard once you have
highlighted all of this, and then you're going to go into a
text editor. Now, not everyone has Microsoft Word. So you could
also use Notepad, for example, which is free, then you're going
to right click and go to paste or press Ctrl plus v on your
keyboard to paste it. Now what you see is it does this, which
makes it really difficult to edit because it's all on one
line like this and you have to scroll across to access it. So
something I discovered is you can just click on format and
click word wrap. And now look you can see everything perfectly
when you're moving this around. So one other thing I want to
show you here as you're editing this is, let's say for example
here you see it says sparkling lakes and it should be sparkle
English. Now let's say this was said several times in the text,
I'm going to put it at the end here. So you can see sparkling
lakes, sparkling lakes, what we can do is copy this right click,
copy. And then we're going to go to Edit, replace. And we're
going to paste here, sparkling lakes. And then we want that to
be replaced with sparkle English in the entire transcription
file. So if I click Replace All you see it has just replaced
sparkling lakes with sparkle English here and sparkle English
here. And this is really useful if this transcription software
has transcribed one word wrong multiple times throughout the
entire file. Let's say they spelled Michael in a different
way than how you want it spelled. You can quickly replace
it throughout the entire file and it makes it much easier to
edit. So this is just a little tool that you can use. And then
from here, I would just go ahead and edit this make any edits
that I need to edit and then I can copy and paste it into
whatever platform I'm using. So if I am a transcriber For one of
these different websites, I can go ahead and copy and paste my
edited transcription into whatever platform I'm using and
submit it. Now some people ask me, Is this okay? Am I allowed
to do this? Well, I get in trouble. I'm not the
representing any of these companies. I'm just teaching you
how to do it. And so it's up to you if you're willing to take
that risk or if you want to try it out yourself. That is not
none of my business. Again, a lot of people use these methods
when they are doing freelance transcription. So if you are
doing transcription work for someone on Fiverr or Upwork
These are tools that you can also use and there's not any
rules. Okay, so if you liked this video, please click like,
