Transcribe an audio file to text free, right in your browser. Upload a recording and get a timestamped transcript with speaker labels — your audio never leaves your device, with no signup, no watermark, and no per-minute fees.
Listen back, keep the words, pick up where you left off.
Auto detects the spoken language. Choose a language if recognition is inaccurate.
Speaker labels run entirely on-device alongside transcription.
Transcripts are saved in local storage; audio stays in this browser. No uploads. Clearing site data removes history — export important text.
Your recent transcripts will appear here
Reopen the words or listen again, even after a refresh.
How it works
Every step runs in this page. To transcribe an audio file you upload it, pick its language, and export the finished transcript — the AI models download once, then transcribe every audio file from cache.
1
Drag and drop the audio file you want to transcribe, or click to browse. The transcriber accepts MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, WEBM, FLAC, AAC and OPUS. No duration limit. No file size limit. Decoding happens locally, so you can transcribe a large audio file instantly.
2
Choose the recording language and the page transcribes the audio file with a speech model running in your browser — SenseVoice for Chinese, Japanese and Korean, Moonshine for English. Local models download if needed. A progress bar tracks every chunk.
3
Read the timestamped transcript, see who said what with automatic speaker labels, then copy the text or download it as TXT or SRT. Transcribe another audio file any time — the models stay cached, so repeat visits start immediately.
Why transcribe here
Most tools upload your audio file to a server before they transcribe it. This page flips that around: the transcription models run entirely on your device.
Your audio file never has to leave your browser. On-device models transcribe it locally, which keeps interviews, therapy notes, legal recordings and unreleased music private by construction — there is no server copy to breach or train on — transcribe any audio file with total privacy.
Meetings and interviews need more than raw text. The diarization engine detects who speaks when, so the transcript of your audio file reads as a labelled conversation — Speaker 1, Speaker 2 — instead of one anonymous wall of words.
Each transcript segment carries a start time, so you can jump from text back to the exact moment in the audio file. Transcribe an audio file for video and export to SRT: the same timings become ready-made subtitles.
SenseVoice multilingual recognition and Moonshine English models transcribe clear speech with near-human accuracy, including punctuation and inverse text normalization. When you transcribe an audio file here, numbers, dates and casing come out formatted, not raw.
Transcribe audio files free with no account, no trial clock and no watermark. The on-device route costs nothing per minute, so there is nothing to meter — transcribe one audio file or twenty.
Transcribe the audio file once, then reuse it everywhere: copy the transcript in one click, download it as plain text for notes and documents, or grab an SRT file for captions. Speaker labels and timestamps travel with both formats.
Formats
Transcribe any audio file with no conversion step and no codec packs.
The transcriber decodes MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, OPUS, WEBM, FLAC and AAC directly in your browser, resamples everything to clean 16 kHz mono, and splits long recordings at natural pauses. Whether you need to transcribe an MP3 voice memo, a WAV interview, or an M4A lecture recording, you upload the audio file as-is and we transcribe the audio file into the same clean transcript.
Video files are not supported yet — extract the audio track first, then transcribe the audio file here.
FAQ
Everything about how to transcribe an audio file: unlimited duration and size, languages, privacy, and accuracy.
Yes. On-device transcription has no per-minute cost, so you can transcribe audio files free with no account, no trial, and no watermark. The models download once and stay cached for future visits.
No duration limit. No file size limit. That covers voice memos, interviews, lectures, and long podcast segments.
Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean run fully on-device with speaker labels.
No. The file is decoded and transcribed entirely inside your browser and never leaves your device.
On clear speech, expect near-human accuracy with punctuation, casing, and formatted numbers. Accuracy drops with heavy background noise, overlapping speakers, or distant microphones — for the best transcript, transcribe an audio file recorded close to the speaker in a quiet room.
Yes — enable speaker identification and the diarization engine labels each turn as Speaker 1, Speaker 2, and so on. It works best with 2–4 distinct voices and minimal overlap; crosstalk-heavy panels may merge adjacent speakers.
VoiceTyping started as a live voice-typing notepad. This page answers the sibling request we hear most: let me transcribe an audio file I already recorded. Instead of bolting on another server queue, we brought the models to the browser — the same SenseVoice and Moonshine weights our live tool uses, plus a diarization engine for speaker labels.
The result is a free audio file transcriber that respects both your time and your privacy. Upload MP3, WAV, M4A or any supported format, get timestamps and speaker labels, export TXT or SRT, and close the tab knowing nothing was uploaded. Transcribe one audio file or twenty — the models stay cached and ready.
