Audio to Text Transcriber

Turn any audio into text

Upload a recording and get an editable transcript in seconds. This tool runs Whisper large-v3-turbo, OpenAI's high-accuracy speech-recognition model. Your audio is decoded in your browser, then sent securely to our server and our speech-to-text provider only to produce the transcript — we process it on the fly and don't store it. Great for interviews, voice notes, lectures, meetings, podcasts, and voice messages.

99 languages, including Tagalog

Leave the language on Auto-detect and the model works out which of its 99 languages is being spoken — English, Spanish, Japanese, Hindi, Arabic, Indonesian and many more — or pick it from the list if you already know. Mixed-language speech such as Taglish usually comes through well. For Tagalog or Taglish recordings, setting the language to Tagalog is strongly recommended — Auto-detect sometimes mislabels mixed speech as English and skips the Tagalog parts.

How to use it

• Drop in an audio file (MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, WebM — anything your browser can play).
• Choose a language, or leave it on Auto-detect.
• Press Transcribe. Long recordings are split into parts automatically, with progress shown.
• Copy the transcript or download it as a .txt file.

FAQ

Is my audio uploaded anywhere?

Yes — to transcribe with this high-accuracy model, your audio is sent to our server, which passes it to Groq, our speech-to-text provider, to be converted to text (if Groq is unavailable, our own server transcribes it instead). It is processed in memory to generate your transcript and is not stored on our servers afterwards. We don't save your audio or your transcript. For highly sensitive recordings that you prefer never leave your device, use a fully offline tool instead.

Does it work for Tagalog and Filipino?

Yes. Whisper large-v3-turbo is multilingual and handles Tagalog well, including a fair amount of Taglish code-switching. For the best Tagalog results, set the language to Tagalog rather than relying on Auto-detect. Accuracy is highest with clear speech and limited background noise; very fast slang, several people talking at once, or strong noise can still reduce accuracy.

How long can the audio be?

Up to about 90 minutes per file. Longer recordings are automatically split into ~5-minute parts that are transcribed in sequence, so you'll see progress as it works. For very long recordings, split them and transcribe each piece.

How accurate is it?

Whisper large-v3-turbo is one of the most accurate openly available speech models, and it's far better than lightweight in-browser models for Tagalog and noisy audio. Even so, expect to proofread names, numbers, and punctuation, and setting the language explicitly helps. Noisy, multi-speaker event recordings are the hardest case for any speech model.

Why did it produce odd or made-up words?

Whisper is a speech recognizer, so music and singing are its weakest point — it can invent lyrics that were never sung. Heavy background noise, overlapping speakers, and mumbling can also cause errors. For reliable results, use recordings of people talking — interviews, voice notes, lectures, meetings — and as clear as possible.

How much does it cost?

It's free to use, with no sign-up. The transcription runs on our server and our speech-to-text provider behind the scenes; there's nothing to install and no model to download.

Can I transcribe a video or make subtitles?

Yes — use Video to Text for MP4, MOV or WebM files (only the audio track is sent), the Subtitle Generator for timed .srt / .vtt captions, and Voice to Text to record straight from your microphone. For Tagalog audio you want in English, try the Tagalog Audio to English translator.
