  • Record close to the microphone with one person speaking at a time and the result is cleaner than any file format tweak could make it.

Questions people ask

How do I convert audio to text for free?

Drop the file in and press Transcribe. MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, FLAC and WebM all work, as do video files. The full transcript is on the page in a minute or two, with timestamps you can switch off. Copy it or download TXT, SRT or VTT.

Can I transcribe a WhatsApp voice note?

Yes. Long-press the voice note, choose Forward or Share, save it to your files, and upload it here. It arrives as an OPUS or OGG file, which is fine. Apple Voice Memos share as M4A, which is also fine.

How accurate is it?

Clear speech near a microphone comes out close to word-perfect with punctuation. Far-away mics, crosstalk and background music lower that. Names and technical terms are spelled the way they sound, and there are no speaker labels.

Which languages does it understand?

More than 50, detected automatically: English, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian and more.
