How to turn speech into text

  1. Drop the recording in. A voice memo, a meeting, a lecture, an interview, a video. Audio or video, any common format.
  2. Wait a moment. The text appears with a timestamp on every line and the language detected on its own.
  3. Copy or download. TXT for a document, SRT or VTT for subtitles. Switch the timestamps off for clean prose.

What it handles

Accents and languages
More than 50 languages, detected automatically, with the accents inside each one. A recording that switches language mid-way is transcribed as spoken.
Several voices
A meeting or an interview comes back as one running text in the order it was said.
Background noise
A phone on a table in a café still transcribes. For a very noisy file, run it through Enhance speech first and the accuracy goes up.

Questions people ask

How accurate is it?

On a clear recording, close to a human transcript. Names, jargon and crosstalk are where it slips; those are quick to fix in the text.

Which languages does it support?

More than 50, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese and Japanese. The language is detected from the speech.

Can I get subtitles instead of a document?

Yes. Download SRT or VTT and the timestamps become subtitle timing.

Is live dictation supported?

No. Record first with the Webcam recorder or your phone's recorder, then drop the file here.
