Tips for using transcription tools to learn English

Right now, I rarely communicate in English at work, but that may increase in the future...

I would like to improve my English skills while learning how to use English transcription tools in case of an emergency.

For such people, we recommend the technique of using transcription tools for English learning.

• Listening to English videos
• Listening to English audio
• Pronunciation practice (check)

The three representative methods are listed above. I will explain each in detail.

English video

Recently, English subtitles are increasingly provided as standard, but even videos without subtitles can be easily added with English subtitles using a transcription tool.

• Play foreign DVDs on a region-free player and transcribe them on a connected computer.
• Convert English audio directly to text using your smartphone's microphone

english audio

Learning English will go more smoothly if you not only listen to English with your ears, such as radio or audio books, but also have transcribed text .

• Convert the downloaded audio data into text using a transcription tool
• Convert English audio directly to text using your smartphone's microphone

*Similar to videos, do not download using another app without permission, but only if the genuine app is officially compatible (such as audiobook.jp).

pronunciation practice

A method of having a transcription tool test your English pronunciation .

If the automatic transcription tool can accurately recognize the text, you can rest assured.

• Read an English sentence aloud and compare the transcribed version with the reading source
• Convert your voice into text during English conversation lessons

In the latter case, rather than converting it into text in real time, it may be more convenient to record it as audio data and then transcribe it using a tool (or to record and transcribe it at the same time).
