There are many applications that we can install on our smartphone to carry out this type of tasks. However, in some cases It may be much more convenient to opt for online solutions, especially if we are not too attracted to the idea of ​​downloading anything to our device. Online solutions like the ones we present below:

We must note something important: unlike other options on this list, Otter is a paid service. However, so that we can test its utilities, it offers a free version of 600 minutes per month. This roughly translates to about 10 hours of transcription. Another quite important detail to mention is that it is only available for English transcriptions.

Talk Typer

We close the list with Talk Typer, a free dictation website that has become quite popular in recent years. Like the other tools that we have discussed in the previous paragraphs, this one also has the ability to convert our voice into text automatically.

The method is basically what we have already seen in other options: click on the microphone (this is in the upper right corner of the screen), accept the permissions and start talking. There is the option of dictating the basic punctuation marks to the website, to avoid having to enter them later. The rest of the work will be done by the website itself.

Once the transcription is complete, there is the option to edit the text. This is very convenient because the result is not always one hundred percent accurate and may contain some errors.
