Platforms: iPhone, iPad and Mac; All Access required
You do not have to record something again just to get a transcript. If you already have the audio, you can bring it into Perspective Transcribe.
Audio import requires Perspective Intelligence All Access.
Import a saved file
- Open Sessions.
- Select Import audio file. This opens the file picker.
- Choose your audio file and confirm the selection in the picker.
- Open the new session and check its processing status.
- When processing finishes, choose Transcript.
If Import audio file is missing, open Settings, then All Access and check your subscription.
Import from a link
The link needs to point directly to an audio file. A webpage containing a player is not necessarily an audio-file link.
- Open the context menu for Import audio file. On iPhone or iPad, touch and hold the control. On Mac, use its context menu.
- Choose Import from URL. With VoiceOver, Import from URL is also available as an action on Import audio file.
- Enter the direct audio link, beginning with https:// or http://.
- Select Download and wait for the file to download and process.
If the import does not work
First, check that the original file plays outside Perspective Transcribe. For a link, check that it downloads the audio itself rather than opening a page that needs a sign-in.
If you can save the audio file locally, try the file-import steps. Keep the original until you have checked the saved recording and transcript.
