How to turn audio into text

  1. Log in to voicy.bot.
  2. Upload an audio file or record your voice right from the microphone.
  3. Read the text: click the time of a phrase and the recording plays from there.

Which formats work

MP3, M4A (iPhone Voice Memos), WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG, OPUS, AMR, WMA and other audio formats — up to 8 hours and 2 GB. No need to convert the file first.

What it's for

  • Interviews — text for an article or research without typing it up by hand.
  • Podcasts — the episode's text for a post or subtitles.
  • Lectures — material for notes and exam prep.
  • Call recordings and voice memos — find what you need in the text instead of listening again.

Example

A part of an interview transcript:

12:40 — When did you know the project would take off? 12:44 — Probably when the first customers started bringing friends without any ads. That's when we stopped guessing and started counting.

Questions

Can I do it for free?

Yes, 3 transcriptions a day. For a recording longer than 3 minutes, the first 3 minutes are free; the whole recording, up to 8 hours, comes with Voicy Pro.

Do iPhone voice memos work?

Yes. iPhone Voice Memos saves M4A files — upload them as they are.

Can I save the text as a file?

Yes, with Voicy Pro — as Word, PDF, TXT or SRT subtitles.
