About
The speech model is Whisper, run in the browser through Transformers.js, so the first visit downloads and caches it and later clips skip that step. WebGPU is used when available, with WASM as the fallback for Safari and iPhone. Auto mode detects the spoken language across about 99 languages, while an English-only faster option is offered on computers. The tool does not add speaker labels, SRT subtitle export, translation, or YouTube page import.
Use Cases
- Turn a saved interview recording into a copyable .txt transcript without uploading it or creating an account
- Transcribe a direct audio or video file URL in the browser, after saving the file first since YouTube and other page links are not pulled
- Convert a live recording made in the browser tab into text and download it as a txt file
Who it is for
- Journalists transcribing interview clips
- Students converting lecture or voice memo recordings to text
- Interviewers who need private, account-free transcripts
Pricing
Audio to Text is free to use. See the website for details.
FAQ
How do I convert audio to text?
Use File, Link, or Record. Drop a local clip, import a direct audio or video file URL, or record in this tab. The speech model runs on this device and the transcript appears on the same page so you can copy it or save a txt file.
Does audio stay on my device?
Yes. The browser reads the file or recording in this tab and feeds it only to the in-browser Whisper model. AudioToText.im does not post the audio to our server or keep a copy after you leave.
Do I need an account?
No login and no signup. Add audio and transcribe. The first visit downloads an on-device speech model and caches it in this browser so later clips skip that wait.
What audio formats can I use?
MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, and WebM work when the browser can decode them. Keep the clip within the limit shown on the card. Link imports a direct file URL. YouTube and other page links are not pulled here.
Does this work on iPhone or Safari?
Yes. Phones use a lighter on-device model and automatically write the language you spoke. There is no Auto / English faster switch on a phone. The first model download can take a minute; later files reuse the cache. A computer can run a stronger pass if the phone transcript is not clean enough.
Is there a file size limit?
One file. A computer can take about 200 MB or 20 minutes — that pair is roughly a 20-minute uncompressed WAV. Phones stay around 80 MB or 10 minutes so the tab is less likely to lock up. Longer jobs belong to a hosted API, not this page.
Is the model downloaded every time?
The first visit downloads an on-device speech model from our own files and caches it in this browser. A computer can start that download after the page appears. Later files skip the wait unless you cleared site data. Switching Auto and English faster on a computer can fetch a second model once.
Can I download the transcript?
After Transcribe finishes, Download TXT saves a .txt file and Copy puts the same text on the clipboard. View opens a dialog on this page. If you recorded in this tab, you can also download the audio clip. Nothing is stored after you close the tab.
What languages does this page handle?
Auto recognizes the language you spoke and writes matching text — speak French, get French. Coverage is about 99 languages from the official Whisper set. We do not claim 100+ languages, and this page does not translate speech into English.
Does it detect my language automatically?
Yes on Auto. The tab listens to the clip, picks the spoken language, and writes that language. A computer remembers Auto or English faster on this device. Phones always use Auto with the lighter model.
