How to Transcribe Audio/Video Files to Text for FREE using Google Docs or MS Word?

Hey Everybody And Welcome Back To My Article Jennifer Marie VO, Where I Teach You Different Ways  

That You Can Make Money Online Working From Home.  If You Are One Of My Subscribers, You Know That A  

A Lot Of My Article Focus On How To Make Money Online As A Transcriptionist Where You Transcribe Or Type  

Our, Audio Or Video Files For Different Platforms Or For Different Clients. So Doing This Manually  

Takes A Lot Of Work. So There Are Several Different Ways That You Can Automatically  

Transcribe Audio Files Directly To Text That You Can Then Manually Edit For Any Spelling Or  

Punctuation Errors. So In This Tutorial, I'm Going To Show You How You Can Transcribe Automatically  

For Free Without Any Limits, You Can Transcribe As Many Audio Or Video Files As You Like, And You  

Don't Need To Pay Anything. So What You Will Need Is A Vb Audio Virtual Cable Which Is Free, And I'm  

Going To Show You How To Download And Install That, You Can Get The Link To This In The Description  

Below. And You Also Need To Have Google Docs. Now,  Again, Google Docs Are Completely Free, You Just  

Need A Google Or Gmail Account, Which You Can Also Create For Free. So The First Thing You Need To Do  

Download This Audio Virtual Cable By Going To The Vb Audio Link In The Description Below. And  

Then Click On Audio Apps. So Basically, The Vb Cable Is A Virtual Audio Device Working As A Virtual  

Audio Cable, All Audio Coming In The Cable Input Is Simply Forwarded To The Cable Output. So What  

This Means That We Can Use The Dictate Tool In  Google Docs To Automatically Transcribe Our Files,  

I Did A Tutorial On How To Use The Speech-to-text Feature. But With That Feature, You Would Have To  

Actually, Say Everything That You Want Google To Transcribe. But By Using This Virtual Audio Cable,  

We Just Have To Click Play And Wait, As  Google Is Going To Be Listening Directly  

To The Audio File That We're Going To Play And Transcribe That Directly. This Makes The Process  

Super Easy. Okay, So Go Ahead And Download The Vb Cable Driver,  

Either For Windows Or Mac. Okay, So Now Locate Where You Installed The File On Your Computer.  

And You're Going To Right-click On The File And Go Extract Files. And Then Click Ok. So That's Going  

To Extract All The Files In A Folder. So I'll Double-click On The Folder, And Then Locate The  

One That You Have To Install. So You're Either Going To Have To Install The Vb Cable Setup,  

Or This One If You Have A 64-bit Computer. So Then What You're Going To Do Is Right-click On It  

And Go Run As Administrator. Okay, And Now You're Going To Click Install Driver, Make Sure To Run  

As an Administrator, Otherwise, It Won't Allow You To Install It. Now Make Sure To Watch This Entire  

Video Before You Install The Driver. Because Once You Install The Audio Driver, You Will Not Be Able  

To Hear Any Sound Coming Out Of Your Speakers Because It's Going To Change Your Output Speaker  

To The Virtual Cable. So You Can Follow Along With This Article If You Like. But it Just Turns, On  

The Subtitles, So You Can Read What I'm Telling You To Do. And They'll Also Tell You How To  

Change It Back So You Can Hear The Sound From Your Speakers Again, Then Click Install. So It Will Say  

Installation Complete And Successful, You Might Reboot Your System To Finalize The Installation.  

So What You're Going To Do Now Is Go Down To Your Windows System Tray,  

And You're Going To Right-click On The Sound Icon. And Then Go To Open Sound Settings.  

And Here Under The Sound Tab, You Want Your Output To Be The Cable Input. This Should Be Done  

Automatically Once You Install It. Now If You Want To Go Back To Being Able To  

Heart, Out Of Your Speakers, Click On This And Go To Speaker Or Headphones Or Whatever You Want Your  

Output Device To Be. But Remember, You Won't Be Able To Hear Anything Coming From Your Computer  

When You Do This. So Make Sure You Change This To Cable Input. And Then Input You Want To Change  

To Cable Output. So Now We're Going To Go To Google Docs. And You're Going To Start A New  

Document. Remember, Google Docs Is Completely Free. You Just Need A Gmail Or Google Account,  

So You Can Click On The Blank. So What We're Going To Do Is Go To Tools, Voice Typing.  

So Now What You Can Do Is Open Up Your File On Your Computer.  

And What I Want Is I Want Google Docs To Automatically Transcribe One Of My Videos  

For  My YouTube Channel. So What You're Going To Do Is Click On The Microphone And Then Press Play

On Whatever File On Your Computer, You Want  Google To Automatically Transcribe And Just Wait  

Until The File Finishes. I'm Going To Click Play First And Then Click On The Microphone Button.

So You Can See That It Has Done A Pretty Good Job Of Transcribing This File Automatically For Me,  

Of Course, There Are Some Things I  Would Have To Go And Change And Edit.  

But Overall, It's Done A Great Job, And It's Much Less Work To Do It This Way.
