Step 1 to Transcribing: Record Your Google MeetingsRecording your Google Meet sessions allows you to replay the audio slowly enough to transcribe it accurately. You also need to record the meetings so you can send the video file to a professional transcription service.TRY REVSome school districts even require teachers to record Google Meet calls to ensure child safety. So, if you’re using Google Meet or Hangouts in a professional or other organizational setting, you need to know how to record the meetings.The good news is, if you’re a G Suite subscriber of any kind using Google Meet between now and September 30, you’ll have access to the advanced features, which include recording your meetings.

(Although, who knows, maybe you want a permanent record of how many times Grandma asked how to turn on her video.) But, if you’re using Google’s teleconferencing tools for work or other volunteer activities, you may need a reliable way to get speech to text quickly.TRY REVTranscribing your Google Meet sessions has a few important benefits:It improves efficiency. Anyone who was in the meeting — or anyone who had to miss it — can easily skim the meeting content at any time without having to scroll through a video or audio recording.It’s searchable. It’s much easier to search for specific meeting content in written form, and you can use this for SEO purposes when needed.It’s versatile. You can easily repurpose transcribed meeting content into other educational or training materials.It’s accessible. Basic web accessibility guidelines dictate that transcription is an essential service for making online content accessible to everyone.While meeting notes and minutes are helpful tools for capturing the most important parts of a meeting, they’re not a substitute for a word-for-word record of the call. And to effectively capture everything, you will first need to make sure you can record the meeting.

It is a very demanding move to make. Just because people speak English, do not be deceived. It is an utterly alien place from America culturally and I found (and still find) the adjustments frustrating and still can get furious by the difficulties.One of the biggest realities is the drop in the material standard of living. British wages are generally not as high as in the US and things are more expensive. Obviously, this impacts on lifestyle.Houses are very expensive and you will live in a property half the size you would expect in the US, often attached to your neighbour and with a one car garage —if you are lucky. There are no basements, so you feel cramped and everything is cluttered. I've never seen a walk-in closet to date. You will cram everything into a 'wardrobe' the size of your coat closet.My friends living like this include high flying professionals in London, teachers, engineers, journalists -- graduates from top-flight universities. There are of course higher levels up from this, but it is generally those connected to the City, oil executives or the like. Doctors will live higher up the scale but not to American standards. Pharmacists have low five-figure salaries even though they hold chemistry degrees - a huge disparity, same with nursing.You will eat sandwiches in your office, not go out for lunch as is done daily in the US. You will not have a garbage disposal and will be expected to hang your laundry out to dry, fighting the rain the whole time (having to check weather reports, can you believe?). Household work is more time consuming as the conveniences built into newer housing just aren't there.But there are pubs! Pubs are an Englishman's refuge and the place where you meet up with mates for a quick pint as a routine part of 'friend maintenance.'Our groceries are ordered on the internet and delivered to our front door -- as is typical for all supermarkets. We live on the 'High Street' in our village -- bakeries, cafes, barber, grocery store and bus stop are located there, and three pubs of course. The train station to London is an 8-minute walk.My daughter is fourteen and has 11 subject areas: Latin, Greek, French, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Advanced Maths, History, English, English Lit and Music (theory, performance and composition). She anticipates fluency in French at 17. The education system is exam based; there is no such thing as a GPA. She wants to study medicine; the course begins freshman year and she has already begun pre-med coaching sessions at school.Brits get a lot more time off -- 5 weeks as a rule -- and travel is a priority. The cultural aspects of the country are fascinating. Tiny it may seem but it takes a lifetime to know this place and with Europe at the back door opportunities are expanded even further.A massive advantage of living here is the National Health Service. If an American could understand it, they would be amazed by its scale and the overall quality of service provided to every single citizen of the realm.In this past week I have seen an ENT consultant surgeon and have surgery scheduled in a few weeks' time. There was no direct cost to me.Tonight my GP (family doctor) rang at 8pm to check in on another health issue. She is chasing a consultant to authorise a new medication and will ring me back next week. Her services did not cost me a penny.So three doctors and one medical procedure without a form to fill in or a bill to pay. Pretty damn impressive stuff. Yes I know it is in our taxes, but the system works well. It is 'cradle to grave' care all woven together into one service. The ambulance ride, GP appointments, in-patient hospital and hundreds of offshoot services (such as mother and baby home visits by nurse-midwives) are included. There are all kinds of synergies created by such a system. It is to be deeply respected, emulated and not feared. And if you have any doubts about its quality, then consider this, a tearjerker . . . http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/jan/18/intensive-care-ill-baby-heart-defect — and remember this did not cost the parents a penny out of pocket.Another advantage is the lack of gridlock in politics. We are being spared the current ugliness in the US and the greater degree of safety nets in employment law, disability rights and family leave are reassuring.The infrastructure of the country is in a much better state... I never see derelict buildings or crumbling roads. There is greater acceptance and less stigma in being a racial minority (although still far from easy). Gay marriage has been in place since July 2014 and is culturally a non-issue, no angst.And best of all: the deeply inbuilt intellectualism -- world-class museums, theatres, concerts, bookshops, lectures everywhere across the land. I have lived fifteen years in the county of Sussex and have yet to exhaust its cultural offerings, never will.People jump to conclusions about Brits being unfriendly but this is simply an American reaction to the British cultural norm of avoiding relationships that are superficial. Once you are a friend it is sincere, and has a depth and permanence that has outlasted many of those I had in the U.S.I do miss the affiliation to college sports, homesick when my friends all gather for all the big football games at our university and have a great party. There is no equivalent here. There is the Premier League for football, and indeed it has a massive following but it is geared as a professional sport just like the NFL. Wimbledon is a delight, however, and when the World Cup rolls around it is the same thrill as the Super Bowl.I would give my right arm for an American washer and dryer, and you won't understand this unless you've seen the laundry situation here. As I type this our laundry is hanging in the family room damp and when dry will need to be ironed to get to American dryer-only standards. British life features ironing as a core task. My good friend’s husband spends two hours every Sunday tackling it for his family. This is a personal 'I hate Britain' pet peeve for me. No place is perfect, I know. But attempting to dry clothes outdoors in February? Infuriating.In spite of this Britain is a place that you can come to love as your own. The countryside is stunningly beautiful and I am grateful for the hours I spend driving in it. Bunnies hop, pheasant fly and fox dash around me every day. Yet London remains close at hand.The Brits have extremely strict zoning restrictions and there are no 'strip malls' -- not anywhere. So you drive for an hour straight and won't see a petrol (gas) station or any commercial building sticking out like a sore thumb.There is a deep love and care for the countryside that makes it compelling, and you can never tire of it. It is the work of a thousand years -- a landscape built by humans, layer by layer. A masterpiece.When you watch Downton Abbey, you are seeing the actual house and landscape of an aristocratic family in Hampshire - one hour from where I live. Just look at the size of those cedar trees outside the front of the house. All the rooms and lands you are seeing are real without alteration (except for the studio built downstairs servant quarters).I live minutes from Petworth House - a house of equal magnificence, built in the Palladian style with a 1000 acre deer park. It is breathtaking to behold, landscaped by 'Capability' Brown. The inside is just as amazing, filled with paintings by Turner, Van Dyke and endless architectural treasures. These houses span across the countryside and are open to the public.There is so much of which the British are rightly proud. The subject of 'the War’ has an awesomeness all of its own. Brits are stubborn and would rather die than be beaten -- the Nazis discovered that one! A few ugly cement blocks plonked around my village’s main street are legally protected as important ‘heritage’ relics and shall forever remain undisturbed. Leftovers of a brave resistance plan to block Hitler’s Panzer tanks as they raced towards London, it represented typical British resolve even when the odds were deeply against them. The military has a proud heritage and is so highly regarded that the Royals feel a deep attachment to it -- including Princes William and Harry.The weather... it does drizzle off and on here but it doesn't get very cold. People get on with cycling, hiking, and the like quite stoically but it can mess up summer weddings. It certainly is not a Californian sun zone. For that people hop over to Spain, Portugal and Greece.I found the financial drop in living a lot harder than I thought it would be. The differences between me and my American friends in terms of material possessions is significant. They replace their furniture and cars quicker than I can. Their financial goals seem easier for them to achieve. However, a lot of this feeling about financial difference has been lost to me over time. I now tend to reference my life against my British peer group and am comfortable to be living in a less materialistic way.When we go back home there is a massive shock and whoops of laughter at the bigness of everything. Yes, I do envy those closets and everything on sale at deep discount. Yet it also brings awareness of the wastefulness of American culture -- those gallon size soft drink containers and hundred other excesses are fun for a few weeks of holiday but then we've had enough. Being in England teaches carefulness with resources (gas $8/gallon), and I am happy my children live within these constraints.To make a move here you should be fully prepared for how expensive it is, the lower wages, and the resulting drop in your (material) standard of living. If this is not of concern to you, and you want all the gains outlined above, then living here is quite good.Britain has afforded me a window into a world beyond my wildest Midwest imagination. For this I am grateful. I don't know if I could happily reintegrate into America now. Perhaps on the coasts. Saying that, I hold America dear and defend it daily. It was once explained to me by another ex-pat that I am 'mid-Atlantic' . . . caught in the middle of the ocean, no longer able to decide which direction is home. I love both countries dearly.Edits in response to comments: if you work in the City, you will find things comparable to Wall Street. It is a separate world - entirely - from how normal Brits live. In America, laundry is an invisible activity done quickly and discreetly. Yes, tumble driers exist in the UK but they have nothing like the massive capacity of American ones which dry fast and mostly eliminate the need for ironing. British ones are expensive to run for those with families and the contents come out wrinkled. Yes, you can put your clothes on airing racks within your house -- and live with your house looking like a Chinese laundry for at least part of every day. Laundry in Britain is, from an American viewpoint, a rather miserable business.

My boyfriend and I have been together about 3 years at this point and have gone from living together to living in separate states due to our jobs. His landlord does not allow overnight visitors so he usually drives down to where I live for every long weekend and we usually try to meet and spend a weekend together at least once a month.About a year ago, I had had a particularly horrible week at work. I don't do my best work under pressure and unfortunately my pretty small team was under pressure to finish something before a deadline. Everyone in my team felt the pressure and since it was a small team, a sizable amount of important work fell on me even though I was a junior to everyone on the team by at least four years ( in terms of experience with writing software, knowledge of the data and the ecosystem of the IT segment of the company)The main reason I hate working under pressure is I like to take my time reviewing and debugging my code because I am still a novice at writing code. But back then, this wouldn't do and I tried to finish my piece and hand it in well before the deadline. But I was still behind and I think the frustration finally got to my manager and he snapped, ‘Just check it in, I'll finish it myself. You don't do anything'That comment, on top of the pressure I was feeling and the sense of inadequacy from not being able to complete a piece of code on time, got to me. I thought about how I was of no use to the team when they needed all the resources they could get and I worked myself up in my head pretty bad. The only thing that kept me going through all that was the thought of seeing my boyfriend that weekend.Come Friday, I can't keep it together anymore. Everyone busy and I feel completely useless at work and I just want time to speed up to when I can finally find comfort in my boyfriend's arms.That evening, I call him, to ask when I should expect him and he says he's really tired and sleepy, could he come the next day instead. Now, under ordinary circumstances I'd be disappointed but understanding but I had been looking to find protection in the arms of someone who would negate all the crap I had been feeling that week. I was near the end of my wits that morning already and I had kept going by counting down to when my boyfriend would arrive and now I had to wait another 12–15 hours!Suddenly something in me snapped and I started sobbing. I couldn't see anything with all the tears in my eyes and I couldn't talk but the fact that this is one more thing on top of a crappy week makes me bawl. Now my boyfriend is alarmed that I'm sobbing so hard, he doesn't understand. He's driven down in the morning if he was too sleepy to drive at night so many times before so now he's just flummoxed that I'm bawling my eyes out. He asked for an explanation but I'm crying too hard to give him any.He keeps asking until I gather enough breath to say that I was really looking forward to seeing him after a crappy weekend, it was all that kept me going and now I was going to have to wait and then I promptly resume my sobbing. He's silent for a minute and he says he'll call me in ten minutes and hangs up.Twenty minutes later he calls and tells me he's on the way. My befuddled brain takes a minute to understand. He says he'll drive as fast as allowed and will try to reach me as soon as he can so he can give me a hug and make me feel better.My crying which had abated somewhat, starts up in full flow again. Because now I'm terrified for his safety. He was too tired and sleepy and he shouldn't be driving. And besides what if there were other sleepy drivers on the road? It was 10.30 - 11.00 pm then and I was panicking about having him drive so late at night. He always stopped at rest stations halfway through, because the 4 hour drive was too much at a stretch and the thought of him stopping at an empty rest stop at 1 at night overwhelmed me. He was driving because I cried and if anything were to happen because of my idiocy what would I do?Because I'm crying again he keeps repeating that he'll soon be with me and that of course makes me cry harder. Soon I find my voice and beg him to go back home, I feel better now, I'll see him the next day morning, to please not drive when tired.Then he tells me, 'I got a large coffee and I'm wide awake now. I'll get more coffee at drive-thru's if I need it. Don't worry about me. You were crying so hard, I couldn't leave it alone. I always want to be there for you.’Then we kept each other company on the phone while he drove and till he reached my place. I really really love that man.P.S.: I apologize for any grammatical errors!
