Question

one note transcribe feature

Anonymous

When trying to upload a .wav file created within One Note to be transcribed I will hit the upload audio button but cannot find the file. How can I resolve this problem? Example: an audio recording was created today on a page in One Note but when in the playback tab, after hitting the transcribe button and having the transcribe window open on the right of the page and hitting the upload audio triggering the pop up window to select the file to upload the recording is not presented as an option. Older .wav files are presented, and the sync of all the ms office products are up to date. How can I resolve this problem?

Hi Dan,

Thanks for posting in the community. We are happy to help you.

Typically, when you click "Upload audio" in the Transcribe pane, a File Explorer dialog will pop on, and you will be able to select a local audio to upload. You mentioned that this recording is not presented, but old .wav files are presented. Before providing suggestions, I would like to collect more information about the situation.

In the pop-up dialog, does it show a local location or an online location? If you are not sure, you can take a screenshot and upload it via "Insert Image".

I would like to know how you recorded this audio. Did you use Insert> Transcribe> Record Audio, or did you use Insert> Transcribe> Transcribe> in the Transcribe pane, "Start recording"?

Based on my test, if you use the "Record Audio" feature, the audio is attached to the page and is not saved to the local location. In this case, when clicking "Upload audio" in the Transcribe pane, there is no audio for you to select in the dialog. This is by design. As a workaround, you need to right-click the attached audio, Save as, save it to your device, and then click "Upload audio" in the Transcribe pane.

If you use the "Start recording" feature, after you click "Save and transcribe now", the Transcribe feature should work and transcribe the audio. The audio is stored in OneDrive and attached as a link to the notebook page.

We look forward to your response. Thanks for your cooperation.
