You get a better recording if your lecturer wears a wireless lapel microphone (mic).
This is because your laptop mic might not pick up the lecturer’s voice well, which could impact the audio recording causing an inaccurate transcription.
Captions and transcripts are machine generated, and not checked by a human. Do not rely solely on the automated captions/transcript when reviewing your multimedia content.
You can download the transcript as a VTT file or Text File.
To remove time codes for easier reading, you can use the tool Microsoft Transcript VTT File Cleaner.
