Transcribe M4A voice memos to text
M4A is what your iPhone's Voice Memos app records — and what most transcription tools choke on or make you convert first. Here you upload the M4A as-is; no conversion step, no quality loss.
Perfect for recorded conversations, lectures, and ideas captured on the go. The transcript comes back timestamped and searchable, ready to export as text or a document.

Common questions.
Do I need to convert M4A to MP3 first?+
No. Upload the M4A directly — conversion is handled internally without touching quality.
Is it really free?+
Yes — every account can transcribe 3 files per day, up to 30 minutes each, every day, free. No credit card, no trial that expires. The Unlimited plan removes both caps.
How accurate is the transcription?+
On clear recordings you can expect near-human accuracy, including punctuation and casing. Quality drops with heavy background noise or people talking over each other — try your own audio free and judge for yourself.
