Turn a recorded lecture into text
Record the lecture on your phone or download the recording, then get searchable notes and subtitles.
Or drop a file here. MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, FLAC, MP4, WebM and more.
Best for recordings up to about an hour. Speed depends on your computer.

Questions
Is it really free? Yes. In free mode your own browser does the work, so there is no account, no minute limit and nothing to pay. Pro on our servers is the paid option ($9 a month, or 20 hours for $1), for long recordings, phones, slow computers and many files.
Is my recording uploaded? Not in free mode: the file never leaves your computer. With Pro it is sent to our servers for that one request and is not stored, cached or logged.
Which setting should I choose? Balanced suits clear speech. Use Careful for accents, noise, or languages other than English.
Why is the first run slow? The listening model is fetched once and then saved by your browser.
Does it tell speakers apart? Not yet. The transcript is one continuous text with timings.
