About audio and video transcription
Audio to Text transcribes speech from audio or video files. Uploaded files are processed in your browser. If you paste a direct link to an audio or video file, the server fetches the file and streams it to your browser for transcription. YouTube, TikTok, SoundCloud, and other webpage links are not supported right now. The speech model downloads on first use and runs locally.
This tool is best for interviews, meetings, lectures, and voice notes. Larger files take longer to process and may use more memory.
Why use this tool
- Handles uploads or direct links to audio and video files.
