How to transcribe audio to text

Start with the recording you already have. Upload it, check the language and price, then review the words before you use them.

Two podcast hosts recording a conversation at a table with microphones.

1. Upload

Use the original MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, FLAC, OGG, WebM or Opus file. Pay-as-you-go accepts up to 500 MB and ten hours. For help exporting, see MP3 or M4A.

2. Confirm

Choose the spoken language and review the price. Pay-as-you-go is $2.00/hour, $2.00 minimum per file. Pricing.

3. Review

Listen alongside the text. Correct names, numbers and speaker labels. Check quotations against the audio and mark unclear passages instead of guessing. Try a sample.

4. Download

TXT, DOCX and supported PDF include your saved edits. SRT/VTT retain original wording and speaker renames; correct subtitle text and timing separately.
