Free Audio to Text Converter
Turns audio and video files or links into text transcripts
Free Audio to Text Converter is a web app that turns audio and video files, or links to recordings, into written transcripts. You upload a file or paste a URL, pick settings such as speaker recognition and summary style, then review, translate, export or share the result.
It is aimed at routine transcription work — meetings, interviews, lectures, video captions — rather than at audio editing. The company says its models reach up to 99% transcription accuracy.

What Free Audio to Text Converter does
Two transcription modes
Standard mode is the balanced option, while Advanced mode leans toward accuracy on harder audio. You can choose a different mode for each file, and both support speaker recognition.
Speaker labels and clean-up controls
Turn on speaker recognition to separate voices, strip filler words with Clean Up Speech, and keep laughter or applause using Keep Audio Events. Vocabulary Groups let you supply names and technical terms so they are recognised correctly.
Summaries and an AI workspace
Choose from 16 summary styles, including Meeting, Note and Core Points, or write a custom prompt for your own structure. On the result page you can ask AI Chat questions about the transcript, view key ideas in MindMap and translate the text.
Export and sharing
Transcripts export as Word, PDF, TXT, SRT or VTT, so the same job can serve as a written report or as video subtitles. You can share results from the result page and reopen earlier work in My Library.
