Audio file transcription

Hi, just notice Dropbox can transcript video files, it's a very useful feature. 

But why not support audio transcription? Will this come soon?

      Hi Hannah:

       

      We have discovered that audio transcriptions can only occur for audio of 105 minutes or less. Our audio is 2 hours, 37 minutes and 40 seconds - is there a way to break up this audio file into separate 105 minutes? Thanks. Ann67

        Hey Ann67, sorry to jump in. 

         

        Audio transcripts are currently capped at 105min indeed, and it’s not possible to bypass this. 

         

        Our team is currently working on it though, and they’ll provide more details as soon as there’s an update.

      Hi Hannah I am excited to hear this only I can't find any information how to do this? Can I do this in the app or only on my desktop?
