How to transcribe audio to text

  1. Choose an audio or video file.
  2. Select the spoken language or keep Auto-detect.
  3. Run transcription and wait for the timestamped result.
  4. Copy the text or download TXT, SRT, or VTT.

What needs review

Names and numbers are easy to mishear. Strong accents, overlapping speakers, distant microphones, and music over speech can also change words. Compare important lines with the original recording before publishing or quoting them.

Which format should I export?

TXT is useful for notes, SRT is suited to caption timelines, and VTT works well with web video players.
