About the Speech to Text for TXT

Our Speech to Text engine turns spoken audio into accurate written text. Upload an MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC or OGG file and receive a clean plain-text transcript with proper punctuation and paragraph breaks.

The transcriber recognises over 90 languages, handles accents well and separates speakers automatically. Files are processed on secure servers and deleted right after your download completes.
