How to transcribe audio recordings to text

  1. Upload your recording

    Upload an audio or video recording from your device. To make a new recording, choose Record audio, allow microphone access, then choose End and transcribe when you finish.

  2. Choose the audio language

    After uploading, choose the spoken language and add vocabulary hints if needed. For AI interview transcription, turn on speaker labels to distinguish the interviewer and guest before starting.

  3. Review and export

    Check names, numbers and timestamps, then copy the transcript. Signed-in users can edit and export TXT, SRT, VTT, and DOCX.

Supported files

AAC, AIFF, AMR, ASF, FLAC, MP3, OGG, WAV, WebM, M4A, and MP4

To convert WAV to text, upload a WAV file and choose the spoken language. A WAV recording can qualify for the guest trial if your browser can decode it.

Videos need a supported audio track. Clear audio helps with recognition, especially when people speak over each other or use specialized terms.

Can I transcribe audio to text for free?

When a guest trial is available, eligible visitors can try the first 120 seconds of a recording their browser can decode. Copy the trial transcript or download it as TXT. See trial details.

Transcription runs in the cloud. Recordings and transcripts are stored privately. Deleting a transcript removes access and starts permanent cleanup of its cloud files.
