Before you upload
VoiceScribe AI converts speech from uploaded audio or video into a transcript you can review and export. The public uploader can be tried without registering; it is not an unlimited free service.
Audio is uploaded for processing, not transcribed entirely offline. Before uploading sensitive recordings, review our privacy policy and ask about retention and deletion. See current paid plan terms before subscribing.
Built for audio, video, meetings, podcasts, lectures and interviews.
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT for all languages. PDF (basic ASCII only) for plain English text.
How it works
Upload, let the language be detected automatically, wait for processing, then review. Processing time depends on your file and service availability.
Choose a supported audio or video file from your device, such as MP3, MP4, WAV or M4A. The uploader accepts files up to 6 GiB (6,442,450,944 bytes). File decoding also depends on your browser and the media codec.
The spoken language is detected automatically, with support for 100+ languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French and German.
The audio is processed by the transcription service with automatic speaker labels. Wait for processing to finish; there is no guaranteed completion time.
Review the transcript against the recording, check names and terminology, and export to TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT (all languages), or PDF (basic ASCII only).
Supported formats
