Whatever produced the audio — a meeting, an interview, a lecture, a voice memo or a podcast — the conversion works the same way: upload the file above and AI speech recognition writes the transcript, labelling each speaker and timestamping every line. A one-hour recording is typically done in well under ten minutes.
Formats: MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG and AAC upload directly, and video files (MP4, MOV, and more) work too — the audio track is extracted automatically. There's no need to convert anything first.
Languages and accuracy: transcription runs in 97+ languages and handles accents, technical vocabulary and everyday background noise well. The clearer the recording, the closer the result gets to human-level accuracy — and anything the AI missed is a one-click jump back to the audio, since every line stays linked to its timestamp.
After the transcript: edit the text in the browser, rename speakers once for the whole document, then export TXT, DOCX or SRT — or go further and generate a summary, pull out action items, or ask the built-in AI chat questions about what was said.
Recording a meeting on Zoom, Teams or Google Meet? Those have dedicated importers that pull the recording straight from the cloud.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I transcribe audio to text?
Upload your audio file in the box above — the AI transcribes it automatically and returns an editable transcript with speaker labels and timestamps, usually within a few minutes.
Is the audio to text converter free?
Yes, there's a free daily allowance that covers typical recordings, with no signup needed to try it. Longer files and regular volume are part of the paid plan.
Which audio formats can I convert?
MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG and AAC all work directly. Video formats like MP4 and MOV are accepted too — the audio is extracted automatically.
How accurate is the transcription?
Clear recordings reach near-human accuracy. The model is robust to accents, jargon and moderate background noise, and every line is timestamped so you can verify anything against the audio in one click.
Does it identify different speakers?
Yes — voices are separated and labelled automatically. Rename a speaker once and the name applies across the whole transcript.
What languages are supported?
97+ languages, including mixed-language recordings. You can also translate a finished transcript into another language.
How long does a one-hour recording take?
Typically under ten minutes. Processing runs in the cloud, so you can close the tab and come back — the transcript will be waiting.
Is my audio kept private?
Your files belong to you: recordings and transcripts live in your private workspace, are not used to train AI models, and can be deleted at any time.
Can I get a summary instead of reading the whole transcript?
Yes — once transcribed, one click generates a summary, key points or action items, and the AI chat can answer questions like "what did we decide about the budget?"
