Free AI Audio to Text Converter

Drop an audio or video file onto the converter above, pick the spoken language (or leave it on Auto Detect), and press Convert. The transcript appears as it is produced, so you can start reading before the file has finished. No signup or payment is needed — this audio to text converter is completely free.

No. Transcription works with no signup at all. A free account is optional and only exists so your transcripts follow you between devices — anything you made beforehand is attached to your account automatically when you sign in.

No. There is no 30-minute cap and no truncation. A three-hour lecture, a full podcast episode or a day-long interview recording is transcribed end to end, in full, for free.

Yes. Upload MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AAC, OGG and WebM audio files, plus MP4 and MOV video — the audio track is extracted automatically. You can convert audio files of any length to text. MKV and AVI are not supported yet.

Around 99, including Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Chinese and Japanese. Multilingual transcription uses each language's own script — Hindi comes back in Devanagari, Arabic in Arabic script, never romanised.

We check before committing. The first minute is transcribed with automatic language detection, and if it disagrees with your choice you get a warning and can switch — before the rest of the file is processed. If you still want to change afterwards, you can re-transcribe in another language without uploading the file again.

Yes. Every transcript has a free AI chat beside it that can generate summaries, extract key points and action items, or answer any question you ask about the recording. It answers only from the transcript and says so when something is not covered.

Yes. Switch on Edit and click any line to correct it. Changes save immediately and edited lines are marked, so you can see what a human has reviewed.

Plain text, timestamped text, SRT and VTT subtitles, and Word (DOCX) documents. All export formats are free, with no watermarks and no signup required.

Not yet. Speaker detection is the one feature we have deliberately left out for now — it costs several times more to run than the transcription itself, and we would rather keep everything else genuinely free than charge for the whole tool.

Your browser converts the audio locally before anything is sent, so the original file never leaves your device. The converted audio is stored only so you can re-transcribe in another language, and it is deleted automatically after 24 hours. The transcript itself stays until you delete it.

No. Your recordings are transcribed and then deleted. They are never used for training and never shared with third parties for that purpose.

It uses a state-of-the-art AI speech recognition model for accurate transcription. Accuracy depends on your recording — clear speech with little background noise does very well, while heavy crosstalk, music or a poor microphone will be harder. Selecting the right language matters more than anything else.

Each transcription costs us a fraction of a cent to run. That is cheap enough to give away the features other services charge $10–20 a month for — including unlimited audio to text conversion, all export formats, and AI chat.
