How to Generate a Transcript from a Teams Meeting
The easy way, God (aka your IT dept) willing : Go to the calendar in Teams, open up the meeting (double click) and click on the Recordings and Transcripts tab and take a look.
< Flash news! If you're the one that made the recording, then, just go to the recording and go to Video Settings and there you'll see a simple button to Generate Transcript. Rest of this post of for unlucky folks :)>
If you're unlucky like me, you have zilch. So, what do you do, given you do have the recording?
Open up the recording in the browser and download the MP4 file.
Then, if you don't have VLC Media Player, install it.
Then, follow this advice to generate an MP3 file from the MP4 :
Now that you have your file, you want to extract a smaller MP3 containing the portion of interest. Why? Because we are going to use Microsoft Word Transcribe and it only permits 300 minutes per month. So we want to be thrifty :)
How?
Install mp3chop on your WSL. Oh, I forgot, you need Windows Subsystem for Linux :) If not, what are you doing on my blog? 😊
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install meson
meson --buildtype=release build
cd convenient-directory
git clone https://github.com/mikecrowe/mp3chop
cd mp3chop
meson --buildtype=release build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C install
If you get barfed out on the last one, then no choice but to run the file giving the path of the executable in the build directory.
So, go to where your recording is. For example :
cd /mnt/c/Users/you/Downloads
prompt $ ~/Tools/mp3chop/build/mp3chop --start=00:30.00 --end=01:30.00 < meeting.mp3 > sample.mp3
Now, this smaller mp3 (we extracted a one minute piece here, use mp3chop -help to get some minimal help) is what you feed Microsoft Word (go to your organization's Sharepoint Page and start a new Word doc) as described here :
