Questions
Audio transcription FAQ
How do I transcribe Dutch audio to text?
Upload your Dutch recording and let us check that it can be transcribed. Then verify your email with a one-time code. Transcription starts only after verification, and the finished text appears in your browser.
Can I convert an MP3 file to text?
Yes. MP3 is one of the most common formats for podcasts, interviews, and saved recordings. The audio-to-text converter supports MP3, M4A, WAV, and other common audio files.
How do I transcribe an iPhone Voice Memo or voice note?
On iPhone, open Voice Memos and share or save the recording as an audio file. On Android, export the voice note from your recorder app. Then upload the file here. iPhone Voice Memos are usually saved as M4A files.
What gives an audio transcription the best accuracy?
Clear speech, low background noise, and a microphone close to the speaker produce the best results. Choosing the correct spoken language also helps names and sentences come through correctly.
What audio file formats are supported?
Supported formats include M4A, MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG, CAF, WebM. You can upload an iPhone Voice Memo as an M4A file without converting it to MP3 first.
What are the audio file size and duration limits?
Audio files can be up to 100 MB and recordings can be up to 90 minutes long.
Is audio transcription the same as live speech to text?
Not quite. Live speech to text writes while you speak. Audio transcription works from a recording, so you can convert an existing voice memo, meeting, interview, or lecture into text afterward.
