Can Microsoft Copilot Transcribe Audio Files?
Short answer: no — not in Copilot chat. Microsoft Copilot’s file upload accepts documents, images, and text — not audio. Copilot Voice is a spoken conversation with the assistant, not file transcription. Microsoft’s real transcription feature lives in Word: "Transcribe" accepts uploaded WAV/MP4/M4A/MP3 files with speaker separation — capped at 300 minutes per month with Microsoft 365, or 30,000 minutes with a paid Copilot license. That is genuinely useful inside the Microsoft ecosystem, but it is Word-only, format-limited, and offers no subtitle (SRT/VTT) export or multilingual breadth.
Jackob.ai handles the general case: upload any audio or video file and get a speaker-labeled, timestamped transcript in any of 98 languages, plus an AI summary and export to DOCX (yes, it opens in Word), PDF, TXT, SRT, and VTT.

Frequently asked questions
What audio features does Microsoft actually offer?
Three things: Teams live meeting transcription (which Copilot can summarize); Word’s "Transcribe" for uploaded WAV/MP4/M4A/MP3 files with speaker separation (300 min/month with Microsoft 365; 30,000 min/month with a Copilot license); and Copilot Voice for spoken conversations. What none of them provides: a general upload-anything workflow, SRT/VTT subtitle export, or broad multilingual transcription.
Can Jackob.ai transcribe my Teams recordings?
Yes — download the meeting recording as a file and upload it. You get speaker labels, timestamps, an AI summary, and full export options, even for meetings where Teams transcription wasn’t enabled.
Does the DOCX export work with Word?
Yes — the DOCX export opens directly in Microsoft Word with formatting and speaker labels intact.
