Delete, edit, and organize
Solve issues with deleting, editing, and organizing files and folders in your Dropbox account with support from the Dropbox Community.
Hi,
I have three questions to ask you:
1. I upload an audio file, I have Dropbox AI transcribe it into words, I see on the side that the text is divided in short paragraphs (I think breaking between different people talking), and then when I copy the text and past it into .Word, it pastes it into one big chunk of text. Is there a way to copy it and past it maintaining the paragraphs?
2. Also, if there a different way to produce a .Word or similar document out of the transcript without having to copy and paste it and thus run into the problem I encountered?
3. It seems to me that AI Dropbox is quite accurate in the transcription. Is there any way for me to improve the quality of the transcription besides recording the sound/interview in a quiet place and with a good recorder? I tried doing this with a good IPhone, but I can also record the interviews with a Zoom recorder (which quality should be better).
Thank you for any tip or answer!

Not sure what a .Word file is.
I don’t have a problem with copying and pasting maybe your font settings are off or something.
iPhones and iPads now have screen recorders . Basically open screen recorder , open speak screen, open your AI transcript , and have Siri speak screen . Then edit in iMovie or or voice memo, or whatever you’ll figure it out
.Word document (by Microsoft aka Microsoft Word). I will try pasting the transcription somewhere else and maybe it will maintaining the short paragraphs breaking (which I assume they signal pauses and/or different people speaking).
I also still wonder if there is a better program (whether it is free or not) that transforms audio files into words --by better I mean more accurate than DropBox AI which I find quite good).
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I have also asked the IT guy from where I work. When he answers, assuming he does, I will paste here his answer (to this second question).
Thank you
