Transcribe an MP3 in three steps

MP3 is the most common audio format — and the easiest to transcribe. Drop one in and read it back as text.

  1. Step 1

    Upload your MP3

    Drag in the MP3 file or paste a link to it. Other audio formats work too, but MP3 is the one most recorders and apps produce.

  2. Step 2

    Get the transcript

    The language is detected and the audio is turned into clean, timestamped text. Long MP3s transcribe in the background.

  3. Step 3

    Edit and export

    Polish the text alongside the player, then export to TXT, DOCX, PDF, or SRT subtitles.

Why MP3 is the easiest thing to transcribe

MP3 is the universal audio format — every voice recorder, podcast host, and phone app produces it. That makes it the simplest file to turn into text: just drop it in and SlayScribe handles the rest, returning punctuated, timestamped text in 98+ languages. No conversion step, no setup — your MP3 becomes a searchable, editable document in minutes.
