No thanks to COVID19, more than ever, evaluators and commissioners are now using phone interviews and other online tools to conduct interviews. These interviews, sometimes, need to be recorded, especially when the interviewee consent. In this resource, we present seven applications used by our consultants to transcribe audio recordings to text.

Kindly add to the comment box, if you know of any more applications you have used. We’d be glad to add them to the list.

Application Description URL
Otter Transcribes 10hrs a month for free, with a 40 minute maximum per recording. Still, the paid option is available at around $US8.33 per month (cheaper for an annual plan) and has other benefits including 100 hours per month of meetings with a 4-hour maximum. It has features that can be integrated with zoom cloud recordings. Notes are generated only in the English Language. https://otter.ai/login

Automatically transcribes at $10/hour on its standard pay-as-you-go package, while a more frequent transcription can go for $5 per hour plus $22 per user/month.
