Why use our Audio to Text tool?

Convert podcasts, meetings, interviews, lectures, voice notes, and other recordings into readable text.
Easy Transcription Settings
Choose the spoken language and transcription mode before you start, without complicated setup or editing software.
Transcribe Many Languages
Convert spoken audio to text in many languages, including English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, and more.
Made for voice recordings
Optimized for podcasts, voice memos, and phone or call recordings where the file is audio-only.
Faster for audio-only files
Skipping video processing means audio files typically transcribe faster than the same recording exported as video.
