Hey team. Ms. D, re: jump right in & take care of things. It all depends. I do let some stuff pass and grumble about it till I bore people.
TCJ, I appreciate your challenge. There are many AI transcription apps. I had a project where I was going to record calls with my client and transcribe them before finally congealing them into a cogent grant application. My assistant mentioned that AI transcription services were much improved to what I'd experienced when the tech was a baby, so I dug into the research.
Some pretty good ones from 3 or 4 years ago, better ones might be out now. These work with video conferencing apps like Zoom. Also, zoom now offer transcription inside the zoom.
Otter.ai - watch out for limited time on their free plan.
Grain.com - limited recordings (was 50 last I checked). This is much better than Otter.
What I learned to do: use my zoom and simply make a recording of myself speaking or reading (when I needed to quote a long patch) with Grain running.
2. Take the Grain transcript (which is cluttered with speaker IDs & time markers) and ask Chat GPT (nicknamed by me: CHester) to strip out them out. This takes about 30 seconds.
3. Keep a copy of this stage before asking CHester to fix the grammar and organize by paragraphs.
4. Make any other tweaks as occur to you then print and edit.
