Turn audio into text in three steps

Upload a recording and read it back as text minutes later — no typing, no manual playback, no software to install.

  1. Step 1

    Upload your audio

    Drop in an MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG or FLAC file — or paste a link to one. Any common audio format works.

  2. Step 2

    Get an automatic transcript

    The language is detected and the speech is converted to punctuated text with timestamps. Long recordings transcribe in the background.

  3. Step 3

    Edit and export

    Tidy up the text next to the audio player, then export it to TXT, DOCX, PDF, or SRT captions.

What people turn into text

If it was spoken and recorded, it can be read. These are the recordings people transcribe most.

Interviews

Get a quotable, editable transcript of a recorded interview instead of scrubbing the audio for every line.

Podcasts

Publish show notes, blog versions, and searchable archives from your episode audio.

Voice memos

Turn a quick phone recording into text you can paste into notes, docs, or messages.

Lectures & talks

Capture a recorded class or keynote as notes you can study and search later.

Research & dictation

Transcribe field recordings or dictated drafts and skip the manual typing entirely.

98+ languages

Transcribe audio in almost any language — the spoken language is recognised automatically.

Why convert audio to text

Audio is hard to search, skim, or quote — you have to listen to all of it to find anything. Text is instant: you can scan it, copy a line, translate it, or repurpose it into notes and articles. SlayScribe transcribes your audio automatically with timestamps and punctuation in 98+ languages, so a recording becomes a working document in minutes instead of hours.

Frequently asked questions

Which audio formats can I transcribe?

MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC and more — drop in the file or paste a link to it.

How long can the audio be?

Short clips transcribe instantly; long recordings run in the background on Pro so they never time out.

How accurate is it?

Powered by OpenAI Whisper — clear speech comes back near-perfect. Noisy audio or strong accents may need light edits.

Can I get timestamps?

Yes. Every transcript is timestamped, and you can export SRT or VTT if you need subtitles.

Is my audio private?

Your file is used only to produce your transcript and is tied to your account — it isn't shared or sold.

Is there a free version?

Yes. Transcribe free within a monthly minutes allowance; upgrade to Pro for long files and unlimited uploads.
