- What it is
- Microsoft's support article on recording audio and video in OneNote. It gives the Home > Record Audio and Home > Record Video steps and says a Transcribe button may appear, depending on the OneNote version.
- How much weight it carries
- Official Microsoft documentation with no publication date shown. It does not explain what the Transcribe button does or which OneNote versions have it, so it cannot confirm whether OneNote transcribes recordings.
