From recording to transcript in three steps

No software to install and nothing to set up — upload a file or paste a link and the transcript comes back ready to read, edit, and export.

  1. Step 1

    Upload audio or video, or paste a link

    Drag in an MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV or any common file — or paste a YouTube, Instagram, TikTok or podcast link. Audio and video both work.

  2. Step 2

    We transcribe it automatically

    The language is detected for you and the speech is turned into clean, punctuated text with timestamps. Long recordings run in the background so nothing times out.

  3. Step 3

    Read, edit, and export

    Review the transcript next to the player, fix anything you like, then export to TXT, DOCX, PDF, or to SRT / VTT subtitles.

Frequently asked questions

What files and links can I transcribe?

Audio (MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC and more) and video (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM and more), plus links from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Vimeo and other public pages.

How accurate is the transcript?

It uses OpenAI Whisper, one of the most accurate speech-to-text models available. Clear audio comes back near-perfect; heavy accents or background noise may need a few edits.

Is it really free?

Yes — you can transcribe for free with a monthly minutes allowance. Pro unlocks long recordings, far more minutes, and unlimited uploads.

Which languages are supported?

Over 98 languages. You don't pick one — the spoken language is detected automatically.

Can I get timestamps and subtitles?

Yes. Every transcript is timestamped, and you can export SRT or VTT subtitle files for captioning video.

Do you support long files?

Yes. Long audio and video are transcribed in the background so they don't time out — available on Pro.
