Audio into Microsoft Word in three steps
Built for the Office workflow — transcribe a recording and get a .docx that drops straight into Word, on Windows, Mac, or Word for the web.
- Step 1
Add the recording
Upload an audio file or paste a link. The spoken language is detected for you — no Office add-in and no Microsoft account involved.
- Step 2
Get the transcript
The audio is transcribed into punctuated, timestamped text you can review on screen before anything reaches your document.
- Step 3
Open in Microsoft Word
Export a .docx and open it in Word — then apply your own template, heading styles, comments, or track changes as usual.
Made for the Office workflow
If your team lives in Microsoft Word, this gets recordings into it without a detour through a text box.
Corporate templates
Paste the transcript into the company .dotx template and let Word's styles take over.
Handover to editors
Send an interview as a .docx so reviewers can mark it up in Word with comments and track changes.
Co-authoring in the cloud
Drop the file into OneDrive or SharePoint and edit it together in Word for the web.
No add-ins to install
Nothing is installed into Office — the document is produced in your browser and simply opened in Word.
Mac and Windows alike
The same .docx opens identically in Word for Windows, Word for Mac, and Pages if a colleague has no Office.
99 languages
Transcribe in almost any language; the Word file keeps the language that was spoken.
Why Microsoft Word specifically
Microsoft Word is still where most documents are written, reviewed, and signed off — and it is picky about what it opens. SlayScribe writes a genuine Office Open XML .docx, the same container Word saves natively, so the file needs no conversion prompt, no add-in, and no cleanup pass: heading styles, comments, and track changes work on it from the first click, on Windows, Mac, and Word for the web alike.
Frequently asked questions
Does the file open in Microsoft Word?
Yes — the export is a standard .docx that opens natively in Microsoft Word, plus Google Docs and Pages.
Can I use track changes and styles?
Yes. The export is a normal Word document with full editing support.
Is it .doc or .docx?
The export is .docx — Office Open XML, what Word has saved by default since Word 2007. Older Word versions open it with the free compatibility pack.
Do I need Office installed to get the file?
No. The document is built in your browser, so you can download it on a machine with no Office and open it later in Word or Word for the web.
What audio can I transcribe?
MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC and more — or a link to the recording.
How accurate is the Word transcript?
The Word transcript comes from OpenAI Whisper — clear audio is near-perfect; you can edit before or after the export.
Do I need a paid plan for the .docx export?
No — the .docx export is available on the free monthly minutes allowance; Pro is for long files and unlimited uploads.
Which languages can it transcribe into Word?
Speech in 99 languages, detected automatically — the .docx comes back in the language that was spoken.
Long recordings and big files?
Go Pro to transcribe hours of audio and video, with more monthly minutes and unlimited uploads — accurate text in 99 languages.
