While audio and video files can provide a real-life feel, they do have some drawbacks. You can’t search for a certain phrase in an audio recording. It’s difficult to include a quote from a video file in an article you write.

Sometimes the text is better. But if you want to transcribe video or audio, you probably don’t want to do it by hand. First, we’ll walk you through recording audio and video using your Mac. Then we’ll show you our online transcription service that guarantees 99% accuracy.

Software and Equipment Needed for Audio Transcription on a Mac

Investing in better equipment can get you better sound quality. But it isn’t necessary to buy any new software or hardware to get a good transcription. As long as your Mac has a microphone you should have everything you need. Of course, if you are transcribing video, you will also need a camera. And if all you want to do is transcribe existing media files, you don’t even need those.

To record audio and video files, your Mac comes with QuickTime Player installed. Alternatives include Audacity, a free program for audio recording and editing. MacBooks come with a microphone and camera. A desktop Mac may need these added. But the better the sound quality, the more accurate your transcription will be. It may be worth it to upgrade to a better microphone.

Steps to Capturing your Audio and Video Files on a Mac

Before you begin, you should do your best to reduce any background noise where you are recording. This makes your sound more clear for audio transcription, giving you better results. If you are recording a lecture or meeting, there may not be much you can do about background noise. But placing your microphone near the people speaking and where it won’t be bumped or moved helps a lot. To record:QuickTime Player Audio Recording

  1. Launch QuickTime Player
  2. Select File > New Movie Recording (or New Audio Recording)
  3. Click the arrow next to the Record button
  4. Choose your camera, microphone, and quality
  5. Set your volume slider if you want to monitor your audio as it records
  6. Click the Record button to start and stop recording

If you want to edit your video file once you finish recording, you can do it all using QuickTime.

How to Transcribe Audio or Video to Text on a Mac

It’s possible you already had your media files ready and didn’t need to create them yourself. Either way, you are now ready to get your transcription completed.

Other Uses for Transcription Services

Many people want media files transcribed for the ability to search or use the text. Some have other needs. Voice typing allows you to dictate and record, then have the text transcribed. Authors who prefer working outdoors or work in places where they can’t type could enjoy this. We offer automated speech recognition that reduces the price to just 25 cents per minute. This automated process can result in lower accuracy. You may need to use a text editor to edit the final product.

Video files can have captioning added rather than only getting a text file. This allows you to put the text in the video file exactly where the audio playback occurs. You can learn more about captioning at Rev.com.

Getting the Best Audio Transcription

To make the most of your transcription, you need to provide the best media files you can.

  • Reduce background noise as much as possible
  • Get clear audio recordings by placing the microphone close to the speakers
  • Use quality equipment for the best audio
  • Record using high sound quality media files

Turn Your Speech Into Text

You want to get the best quality transcript, no matter what your transcription needs are.

  • I have been using SoundConverter on my OSX-Lion iMac but it wasn't doing a satisfactory job on FLAC files. MediaHuman is fast and does two files at once! Superior to SoundConverter! Mark S Ver Steeg
  • The audio converter app works perfectly-i finally found a freeware to convert FLAC to Apple lossless and keep the tags. Branden Baxley
  • man i am loving this program i am using media human audio converter and i am convertings 186 music files it has taken less than 5 minutes usually the other programs i use if i was doing this it would take about an hour to an hour and a half this programs is the best. Mina Armanious
  • Hey! The software is awesome. It took me so long to find an audio converter that wasnt crammed full of useless, superfluous features that I couldn't possible care about. Euan
  • Wanted to convert some audio files. Used MediaHuman today after struggling with several other apps and tools for the past 4 days. Gosh! Can't tell you what a relief it is to get the job done so easily as I had thousands of sound clips. Thank you guys!!! Divya Raghuram
  • I am converting thousands of iTunes files to .ogg so I can take my show on the road with Traktor. UR the only 1 that works! DJ-KT
  • Thanks for the fantastic audio converter! I have a number of AACs that I needed to make to MP3 and this is doing it perfectly... thanks again! Dustin Hamilton
  • First of all, I love your audio converter. I have used it to successfully convert most of my FLAC collection to ALAC in order for it to be playable on my Ipod. It's all quite intuitive, I love it! Rory
  • I just wanted to thank you for this software's existence - I used to use QuickTime 7 (and it was clunky!) to convert audio, but when Apple made it slightly harder to get QuickTime Pro I sought out MediaHuman Audio Converter, and have never looked back. It's saved me plenty of times. Thanks! Josh W.
  • That is a truly great product, much better than Switch, which I thought too expensive to pay for. I know it is freeware, but couldn't resist a small donation when I saw how beautifully written the software was. Thank you. Jim S.
  • I have been using your product for a couple years now. I just wanted to tell you folks how much I like it. It is absolutely my goto software for any media conversion. I don't have any money to contribute, but I wanted you guys to know how much I appreciate your software. Thank you very much. Mathew M.
  • The best WMA to MP3 converter, period. I have more than 10Gb of WMA files to convert to MP3. Your software is just making it a breeze. Having struggled with all the major 'recommended' freewares available, I can say without a doubt that yours is just the best for the task. Many thanks from France. Arnaud
  • Hi Folks, I just wanted to let you know that your Audioconverter is truly excellent. The GUI is simple and selfexplaining, very clever! Also thanks for implmenting CBR at 320kbps. I converted AIFF files to mp3 and they sound much better than converted with my old iTunes. The mp3s sound loud, clear, fresh and have a punchy bass. Heavy recommendation guaranteed :-) Ernst M.
  • I just want to congratulate you for the MediaHuman Audio Converter. Variety of choices for audio quality, file extension type and multiple cpu core choice. And checkbox for adding to iTunes while converting. Genius. You saved me from hours of waiting. Well done. Maximos H.
  • I have to say that this converter, is by far THEE best i have ever used. i had to use this in exchange for the built in iTunes converter because it would chop songs into 0:23 seconds after they were converted and that obviously wasn't the whole song. your converter has done its justice to the shitty apple conversion and hence, why i'm writing this review because it's so damn fast AND it also converts as many files as needed with no ads or requiring a license! it's truly and awesome freeware program!! :) Nic
  • MediaHuman Audio Converter là ứng dụng chạy trên các thiết bị sử dụng hệ điều hành Mac OS X và Windows, hỗ trợ người dùng chuyển đổi các tập tin âm nhạc hoàn toàn miễn phí sang các định dạng MP3, AAC, WMA, FLAC, WAV, OGG hay AIFF hay Apple Lossless, cùng nhiều định dạng khác. Taimienphi
  • Downloaded this morning to convert a batch of files, 680+, from WMA to MP3. As a bit of background I started developing software over 40 years ago, which makes me rather picky about how software works. Just wanted to let you know that I am more than pleasantly surprised, this is a great piece of software. I had spent about 3 hours trying other products prior to finding yours, and by far yours is the most full featured and easy to use. Just wanted to drop you a 'thank you', I was looking for a place to leave a review for you, please let me know if there is a place you would like me to leave one. Thanks! Bill D.
  • MediaHuman Audio Converter is brilliant. It's so good to find really well developed software - so intuitive and therefore a pleasure to use. I've been looking at audio converters for a while now and not found anything that comes even close to your great product. I've been involved in software development all my life and rarely see software that gets the user's experience 'just right' Audio Converter does exactly that. Congratulations. John
