HOW TO TRANSCRIBE AUDIO
Use the file you already have.
- Find the saved file. Start with an audio file you are allowed to process, rather than a shared link or a post URL.
- Play it once in this browser. If the exact file will not play here, it is not a suitable file for this browser-local workflow.
- Choose the file above. Select it or drag it into the input area. One file is processed at a time.
- Review the draft. Edit the plain text, then copy it or download a TXT file when it is ready.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT NEXT STEP
A five-check audio transcription decision path.
You only have a share link
Save a permitted copy before coming here. A shared link is not an input for this page.
The file will not play in this browser
Stop before selecting it. This local workflow needs the current browser to decode the exact file you intend to transcribe.
You need subtitles or timestamps
Choose a different workflow. This page provides an editable plain-text draft and a TXT download only.
The speech is not English
Do not use this page for that recording. The selected file must contain English speech.
A USEFUL CHECK BEFORE YOU START
Browser playback is the compatibility check.
Do not rely on a filename alone
An audio filename does not guarantee that every browser can decode the file inside it. Test the exact saved file in the browser you plan to use.
Keep the task to one file
This page is for one saved file, not a queue of recordings. Finish and save one text draft before starting another.
Plan for plain text
The result is editable text for reading, copying, or TXT download. This page does not create timestamped captions or subtitle files.
Use English speech
Choose this workflow when the spoken audio in the selected file is English.
