Copy the whole thing, or download TXT for reading, SRT or WebVTT if you want the timecodes.
An audio to text converter for your recordings
Made for the recordings you actually have
Most audio worth transcribing was never meant to be published: a voice memo you dictated while walking, a 40-minute interview, a lecture you recorded from the third row, a podcast episode you need one quote from. Upload the file and the AI returns the full text — searchable, copyable, and far faster than replaying the recording at 2× speed.
Audio to text has no length problem: long recordings are transcribed in parts and stitched together automatically, so an hour-long interview works the same as a 30-second memo.
What people use audio to text for
Recordings that were never meant to be published, made useful.
Where your audio is stored, and for how long
Your file is uploaded to our storage so it can be transcribed — it is not processed in the browser and discarded. The transcript is then saved to your account, which is the point: you can reopen it, export it again, and come back a month later. Delete any transcript from My Transcripts when you want it gone. If a recording is too sensitive to sit on someone else's storage at all, this is the wrong tool for it.
Audio has no picture to fall back on, so recording conditions matter more here than anywhere else, and speakers are not labelled — a two-person interview arrives as one continuous transcript. Limits are 500MB per file and 12 hours per job.
Video links work here too
The same engine transcribes video: paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X or Facebook link in the link tab, or upload the video file itself. A Spotify episode has its own page with the episode details attached. Need subtitles with timing rather than prose? The subtitle generator exports editor-ready SRT and WebVTT.
Hear it once. Read it whenever.
An hour of audio becomes a page you can skim in two minutes and search in one.

Audio to text — FAQ
Answered against what the tool actually does today.
Upload it on this page, or paste a link, or record in the browser. The audio is transcribed and the text appears beside it, ready to copy or export.
MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG and Opus among others, up to 500MB per file. Video files work too — the audio track is what gets transcribed.
Up to 12 hours per job. Credits are charged per minute of measured audio, so length affects cost rather than whether it works.

Yes — the file is uploaded to our storage so it can be transcribed, and the transcript is saved to your account so you can come back to it. Delete a transcript from My Transcripts whenever you want it gone.
Yes. Copy with timestamps, or export SRT or WebVTT to keep the timings in a file.
Clear speech in a quiet room is usually very accurate. Heavy accents, crosstalk, phone-quality audio and background music all reduce it. Proper nouns and technical terms are the first things to check.
That page is built around one source: a Spotify episode link, with the episode metadata that comes with it. This page is for audio from anywhere — a file on your disk, a recording you just made, or a link from any supported platform.
