Transcribing recorded dictation

Before you start:

Create a transcription source for your profile if you haven't done so yet:

• If you are transcribing a recording of your own voice, then add a new transcription source to your user profile.
• If you are transcribing a recording of someone else's voice, say a lecture you recorded, then you have to create a new user profile and select Transcription source as the audio device.
