Audio to Text Transcriber

Convert spoken audio into an accurate, downloadable text transcript.

Runs entirely in your browser using a compact speech-recognition model (Whisper) — no account, no server, and no file ever leaves your device. The model downloads once per browser (roughly 40–75MB) and is cached afterward, so the first transcription is slower than later ones. Works best with clear, English speech.

What this tool does

An audio-to-text transcriber converts spoken audio into a written transcript, so you can read, search, or edit what was said instead of re-listening to the recording.

How it works

  1. Upload an audio file up to 25MB (MP3, WAV, M4A, or OGG).
  2. Click Transcribe Audio and wait while the file uploads and is processed.
  3. Read, copy, or download the finished transcript once it appears.
Example: A 15-minute recorded interview comes back as a readable text transcript in a few minutes, ready to paste into an article or notes.
