When to use this page
Use audio to text for voice notes, interviews, podcasts, lectures, and other recordings that you already have as an audio file. The result can be copied as plain text or downloaded with timestamps. You can also use this audio-first workflow to convert m4a to text or try a wav to text converter.
How it differs from the homepage
The homepage is framed around Instagram video transcripts. This page is for an audio-first workflow, including the related searches “transcribe audio,” “audio file to text,” and “audio to text transcription.”
Review the draft before you reuse it
Clear single-speaker audio is easier to review than names, numbers, overlapping voices, or music-heavy clips. Keep the timestamps, replay uncertain lines against the original recording, and treat the export as a working draft before quoting or publishing it.
FAQ
What files can I use? MP3, WAV and M4A are supported, along with common video files.
Is the audio sent anywhere? No. Decoding and transcription happen in your own browser tab.
Can I transcribe a video here? Yes, but choose this page when the main input is an audio recording.
For an mp3 to text workflow, choose an MP3 file here; when you need timed captions, use the same transcript as audio to subtitles in SRT or VTT format.
For format-specific steps, see audio to subtitles, M4A to text, or WAV to text.
If you have a saved Zoom recording, transcribe the exported Zoom recording file and compare its playable sample tests.
For a saved Teams recording, make a Teams transcript from the exported file and compare three playable tests.
