Voice Type, Speech-to-Text

Use the tools below to capture as text live on campus or online lectures, take notes using voice typing, or use these tips to transcribe course videos for closed captioning. Please note, that some addition edits may be needed once these tools transcribe the speech it hears in to text.  Using a microphone will improve service. However, as you learn how to speak (tone, speed, volume) using these tools and as the tools learn to hear your voice, this will improve and minimize the number of edits you find.
