Audio to Text — free, accurate and private
Transcribe audio to text. The audio is compressed inside your browser first, so only a small speech-only track is ever transmitted, and nothing is kept once the result comes back.
Why use this tool
Your original file stays put
Video and high-bitrate recordings are stripped down to speech-only audio on your own machine. The large original never gets uploaded anywhere.
Punctuation and paragraphs included
The output is written as readable prose rather than a wall of lowercase words, so it is usable as a draft straight away.
Handles accents and background noise
Modern speech models cope well with real-world recordings — interviews, lectures, voice notes and calls rather than only studio audio.
No account, no watermark, no export limit
Copy the text or download it as a .txt file. There is nothing to sign up for and no cap on what you do with the result.
Frequently asked questions
How your file is handled
The audio is extracted and compressed in your own browser first. Only that small speech-only track is sent for transcription — the original video or recording never leaves your device, and nothing is stored afterwards.
Good to know
- Up to about 25 minutes per run. Longer recordings should be split.
- Clear speech with little background noise transcribes best.
- The first run downloads the encoder once, then it is cached.
- Always read the result — automatic transcription is not perfect.
