About this tool

Transcribe audio to text without typing it out

Typing up an interview or a lecture by hand takes several times longer than the recording itself. Uploading the audio file gives you a full draft in minutes, with timestamps attached to every line. You can then correct names and jargon, pull quotes, or search the text for the moment you need instead of scrubbing through the recording again.

One recording, many uses

A transcript turns a voice memo into notes, a podcast episode into a blog post draft, and a meeting into searchable minutes. Because timing is preserved, the same result also becomes an SRT or VTT subtitle file for a video edit. If you want to turn the words into a new video, the transcript is a ready-made starting script.

Frequently asked questions

Which audio formats can I transcribe?

MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, and WEBM audio files work, and so do MP4 and MOV videos. The audio track is extracted and transcribed for you.

How long can my audio file be?

Recordings up to 60 minutes and 500 MB are supported. Split longer recordings into parts and transcribe each one separately.

Which languages are supported?

The spoken language is detected automatically. English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and dozens of other languages are supported, and you can pick the language manually when detection guesses wrong.

Can I get subtitles from my audio file?

Yes. Every transcript keeps its timestamps, so you can download an SRT or VTT subtitle file as well as plain TXT text.

Do I need an account?

Yes. Create a free account before uploading, and you will come straight back to this page to add your file and start the transcript.
