Frequently Asked Questions
What is an audio to text transcription tool?
An audio to text transcription tool converts spoken words from audio files or live recordings into written text. Our tool uses AI-powered speech recognition to accurately transcribe audio from MP3, WAV, M4A files, or directly from your microphone in real-time.
How do I use this audio transcription tool?
Simply upload an audio file by dragging and dropping it into the upload area, or click to browse files. Alternatively, switch to the 'Record Microphone' tab to transcribe live speech. Once your audio is loaded, click 'Transcribe Audio' and your text will appear in seconds.
How accurate is the transcription?
Our AI-powered transcription achieves high accuracy rates, typically 90-95% for clear audio. Accuracy depends on audio quality, background noise levels, speaker clarity, and accent. For best results, use recordings with minimal background noise and clear speech.
What audio formats are supported?
We support all major audio formats including MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, WEBM, FLAC, and AAC. You can also record directly from your microphone in any modern browser that supports the Web Speech API.
Is my audio data secure and private?
Absolutely. All processing happens directly in your browser using the Web Speech API. Your audio files are never uploaded to our servers. This means complete privacy - your sensitive recordings stay on your device at all times.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes, the maximum file size is 100MB. For longer recordings, we recommend splitting them into smaller segments for optimal performance. Most standard audio files (podcasts, meetings, interviews) fall well within this limit.
Can I transcribe audio in languages other than English?
Yes! Our transcription tool supports multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, and many more. The tool automatically detects the language or you can specify it manually.
How long does transcription take?
Transcription is nearly instantaneous for live recording since it happens in real-time. For uploaded audio files, processing typically takes a few seconds to a minute depending on the file length. A 10-minute recording usually transcribes in under 30 seconds.
Does the transcription include punctuation?
Yes, our AI automatically adds punctuation including periods, commas, question marks, and exclamation points based on speech patterns and pauses. This makes the transcript more readable without manual editing.
Can I edit the transcription after it's complete?
The transcription output is displayed in a text area that you can review. While direct editing isn't available in the interface, you can copy the text to any text editor or word processor to make corrections or formatting changes.
How do I save or export my transcription?
You have two options: Click 'Copy Text' to copy the transcription to your clipboard for pasting anywhere, or click 'Download .txt' to save it as a text file on your device. Both options work with transcriptions of any length.
Does the live recording feature work on mobile devices?
Yes, the live recording feature works on most modern mobile browsers that support the Web Speech API, including Chrome for Android and Safari for iOS. You'll need to grant microphone permission when prompted.
Why isn't my microphone working?
Common issues include: 1) Browser permission denied - check your browser settings and allow microphone access, 2) No microphone connected - ensure your mic is properly connected, 3) Unsupported browser - use Chrome, Edge, or Safari for best compatibility. Try refreshing the page after granting permissions.
Can I transcribe video files?
Our tool is optimized for audio files. To transcribe video, you would need to extract the audio track first using a video editing tool or online converter. Once you have the audio file (MP3, WAV, etc.), you can upload it here for transcription.
Is this transcription tool completely free?
Yes, our audio to text transcription tool is completely free to use with no hidden fees, subscriptions, or usage limits. You can transcribe as many files as you need without creating an account or providing payment information.
