Frequently asked questions
How do I transcribe an audio file to text?
Create a free account, upload your audio file on the Transcribe page, and the transcript appears in minutes with timestamps. You can edit it in the browser and export it as TXT, DOCX, SRT or VTT.
Is audio transcription free?
Yes. Every account includes free transcription minutes each month with no credit card required. Paid plans start at $10 per month if you need more hours.
How accurate is the transcription?
On clear recordings accuracy typically reaches 95 to 98 percent. Heavy background noise, crosstalk or very low-quality microphones can reduce that, and you can always correct words in the editor.
Which audio formats are supported?
All common formats including MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG and FLAC. Video files like MP4 and MOV work too; the audio track is extracted automatically.
How long does transcription take?
Usually a fraction of the audio length. A one-hour recording is typically ready in a few minutes.
Can it also translate or summarize the transcript?
Yes. When uploading, tick "Translate to" for a translation into any of 99+ languages shown side by side with the original, and tick "Summary" for an AI summary of the key points. Both are included with your transcription minutes at no extra cost.
