In the source's own words
“Transcribe only works on the new Microsoft Edge and Chrome. Transcribe requires an Internet connection.”
Transcribe your recordings (Word for Microsoft 365), Microsoft Support, n.d., System requirements.
Open the original- What it measures
- The system requirements appear in the article's shared text, after the Word section and before the OneNote note. The article does not say whether the browser line applies to the OneNote desktop app.
- What it does not show
- Because the browser line is not tied to an app, do not assume it applies to OneNote on Windows. The internet line is stated without qualification, so plan for a connection.
