What is audio to text transcription?
Audio to text transcription is the process of turning recorded speech into written text that is easy to search, edit, and reuse.
TranscribeText is designed for uploaded recordings rather than live dictation, so you can convert saved audio and video files into clean transcripts.
- Upload a recorded audio or video file from your device.
- Receive readable text with punctuation, timestamps, and speaker labels when available.
- Export the transcript for notes, captions, subtitles, or translation.
Which audio and video formats can you transcribe?
The converter accepts the most common audio and video formats, so you do not need to convert files before transcription.
Supported uploads include MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, FLAC, OGG, WebM, and MOV recordings.
- MP3 and WAV are ideal for podcasts, calls, and interviews.
- M4A is common for iPhone voice memos and mobile recordings.
- MP4, MOV, and WebM work when you also need subtitles for video.

How to get an accurate transcript
Transcription accuracy depends mostly on the recording quality rather than the file format.
Clear speech, steady volume, and low background noise usually produce the most accurate text.
- Record close to the speaker and reduce echo when possible.
- Avoid overlapping speakers and background music.
- Upload the original high-quality file instead of a compressed copy.
