How to convert audio to text

1

Choose your audio file

Use the upload tab above and pick any recording — MP3, M4A, WAV and other browser-playable formats, up to 200 MB.

2

AI transcribes it

Speech recognition detects the language automatically and writes out every word, with sentence-level timestamps.

3

Copy or export

One-click copy for notes and drafts, TXT download for documents, or SRT/VTT if the audio belongs to a video.

Nothing is stored

Audio is processed in memory to generate your transcript and then discarded. Your recordings stay yours.

Made for the recordings you actually have

Most audio worth transcribing was never meant to be published: a voice memo you dictated while driving, a 40-minute interview, a lecture you recorded from the third row, a podcast episode you need to quote. Upload the file and the AI returns the full text — searchable, copyable, and far faster than replaying the recording at 2× speed.

Long recordings are transcribed in parts and stitched automatically, so an hour-long interview works the same as a 30-second memo.

Private by design

Interviews and meetings are sensitive by default, so the pipeline is built to forget: your file is processed in memory to generate the transcript and then discarded. Nothing is stored, there is no upload history, and no one reviews your audio.

That also means you should copy or download the transcript before leaving the page — there is intentionally no server-side archive to go back to.

Video links work here too

The same engine transcribes video: paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X or Facebook link in the link tab, or use the video to text converter for any video file. Need subtitles with timing? The subtitle generator exports editor-ready SRT and VTT.
