Dropbox audio transcription feature

Hi UCT,

Great questions! Here are some answers to your queries about Dropbox’s audio transcription feature:

1. Copying with Paragraphs:

   • When you copy and paste text from the transcription, it may lose formatting. Instead, try using the "Download" option if available. Look for a button that allows you to download the transcript as a text file or another format. This might preserve the paragraph breaks better than copying directly.

2. Exporting Transcripts:

   • Check if Dropbox offers an export feature for transcripts. If the AI transcription tool allows, you might be able to download the transcript directly as a .docx or .txt file. This can save you from needing to copy and paste manually.

3. Improving Transcription Quality:

   • To enhance transcription accuracy, consider using the Zoom recorder for interviews, as it often captures clearer audio than a phone. Additionally:
     • Ensure the microphone is placed closer to the speakers.
     • Use a pop filter or windscreen if recording outdoors.
     • Avoid background noise as much as possible.
     • If your recording has multiple speakers, ensure they’re speaking clearly and at a moderate pace.

By following these tips, you should be able to improve your transcription experience and quality.
