What is an audio to text converter?
An audio to text converter turns recorded speech from an audio or video file into a readable transcript. VoiceToTextOnline lets you upload a file, generate a transcript, export text, and continue with transcript actions.
Can I convert MP3 to text?
Yes. VoiceToTextOnline supports MP3 uploads, along with common audio and video formats such as WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, WebM, MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, and MKV.
Can I transcribe audio files for free?
Yes. Signed-up users get 1 free audio transcription up to 5 minutes. After that, uploaded file transcription uses plan minutes or pay-as-you-go credits. Live browser speech-to-text remains free.
Which audio and video formats are supported?
Common audio and video uploads are supported, including MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, WebM, MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, and MKV. File size and transcription minutes depend on your plan.
Is my audio private?
Uploaded files are processed to create a transcript and can be saved to your account history if you are signed in. Live browser speech-to-text is different: microphone audio stays in your browser.
