Convert WAV recordings to text

WAV files carry the cleanest audio you can feed a speech model — which means transcription accuracy is at its best. Podcast masters, studio sessions, field research recordings: upload them uncompressed and get the most faithful text out.

Long files are fine. Speaker labels, timestamps, and every export format are included on the free tier.

Common questions.

My WAV file is huge — will it work?+

Files up to 100MB upload directly on Unlimited, 50MB on the free plan (which covers up to 30 minutes of audio). For bigger sessions, a quick export to FLAC or M4A keeps the quality and shrinks the file.

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.

Is my file private?+

Yes. Files are private to your account, stored encrypted, never shared, and never used to train AI models. You can delete them at any time.
