Audio-to-Text Transcription: How It Works

Our audio transcription tool uses the Whisper large-v3 model, developed by OpenAI and recognized as one of the best speech recognition models in the world. It supports over 90 languages with exceptional accuracy in both English and French.

The process is simple: upload your audio file (MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG or WebM), and the AI transcribes it into text automatically. Transcription takes between 10 and 30 seconds depending on the file length. The result is displayed directly on the page, ready to copy or download.

Your files are processed in real time and deleted immediately after transcription. No data is stored on our servers.

Audio Transcription Use Cases

Audio transcription is valuable in many contexts. Here are the most common use cases:

Podcasts

Transcribe your episodes to create show notes, blog posts or newsletters. Transcription also boosts your SEO.

Meetings

Record your meetings and get automatic text summaries. Share them with absent team members or keep them as reference.

Interviews

Transcribe interviews for easier article writing, exact quotes and content archiving.

Courses & Training

Turn audio lectures into text notes. Ideal for students, trainers and educational content creators.

Tips for Better Transcription Quality

Transcription quality largely depends on the quality of the source audio. Here are some tips for the best results:

  • 1
    Clear audio — Use recordings with minimal background noise. A quality microphone makes a significant difference.
  • 2
    Steady pace — Speak at a normal pace and articulate clearly. Very fast or mumbled passages are harder to transcribe.
  • 3
    Single speaker — The tool works best with one or two speakers. Group conversations will produce less accurate results.
  • 4
    Right format — MP3 offers the best size-to-quality ratio. WAV is larger but preserves original audio quality.
