The old way is slow and expensive

Manual translation, hired voice actors, days of waiting. Creators and teams lose time and money on every single video.

Skip the old workflow

I want to talk through an idea and end up with text — not sit and type it up afterwards.

The dictation feature I tried types every cough and restarts, so the result is unusable for anything long.

My recording is already in a file and I just need the words out of it, with timestamps so I can find things again.

How It Works

Done in four simple steps

Upload, pick languages, and let the AI handle the rest. No software to install.

01

Open the workbench and tap the microphone — or upload an existing recording (MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4…)

A few clicks, that is all.

02

Talk; pause and resume whenever you need to

A few clicks, that is all.

03

Stop and the audio is transcribed into a timestamped script automatically

A few clicks, that is all.

04

Clean up names and jargon in the editor, then export TXT, SRT or plain text

A few clicks, that is all.

Voice to text is two different products wearing one name, and most of the frustration comes from picking the wrong one. Real-time dictation types as you speak — great for messages, but every cough and pause lands in the output, and a two-hour meeting will not survive it. Recording first, then transcribing after, gives you a document: spoken words only, cleaned up, with timestamps and punctuation. This tool is the second kind, and it also does the recording for you — open the workbench, hit the microphone, pause and resume as often as you like, and when you stop, the audio is transcribed into a timestamped script exactly as if you had uploaded a file. If the audio already exists, upload it instead: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC and the video containers all work. Accuracy reaches up to 98% on clean audio, and the honest caveats matter — crosstalk, call-line compression and music under the voice all pull it down. Export TXT for notes and articles, SRT if the audio goes back onto video, or translate into 67+ languages. 1 credit per minute of audio, 20 free at sign-up.

Record and transcribe in one place

No separate recorder app and file transfer: the microphone is in the workbench, pause and resume work the way you expect, and stopping sends the audio straight into transcription.

A document, not a transcript of noise

Because the audio is complete before transcription starts, the output is a cleaned-up, timestamped document with sentence breaks and punctuation rather than a live stream of filler.

Voice to text, then anywhere

Export TXT or plain text for notes and articles, SRT if the audio belongs to a video, dub it into another language, or feed the text to the narrator to produce voice-over.

FAQ

Common questions

How do I turn my voice into text online?+

Open the workbench and tap the microphone to start recording — pause and resume whenever you need to. When you stop, the audio is transcribed automatically into a timestamped script. If the recording already exists as a file, upload it instead (MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC and video containers are all accepted). Transcription costs 1 credit per minute of audio and you get 20 credits free at sign-up.

How is this different from live dictation?+

Live dictation types as you speak and keeps everything, including coughs, filler and restarts. This tool records first and transcribes after, so the result is a cleaned document with sentence segmentation, punctuation and timestamps — which is why it holds up on long recordings where dictation falls apart.

How accurate is it?+

Up to 98% on clear audio: one speaker, quiet room, reasonable microphone. It drops with overlapping speakers, compressed phone or call audio, heavy accents and music under the voice. Because every line carries a timestamp you can jump straight to the passage you doubt instead of re-reading everything.

Which languages are supported?+

67+ languages across the platform, with Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean and Cantonese among the strongest. You pick the spoken language before the task, or let it be detected, and can then translate the finished transcript into 67+ target languages.

What can I do with the text afterwards?+

Export it as TXT or plain text for notes, minutes and articles, or as SRT when the audio belongs to a video. You can also translate it, dub it into another language, or send it to the text-to-speech narrator to produce a voice-over — all from the same task, without re-processing the audio.

Is my recording kept?+

Audio is used for the task you started and cleared when it finishes; it is not shared with third parties and not used for training. Failed tasks are not charged, and finished tasks stay in your history so you can re-export in another format.
