What audio formats can I convert to text?

TalkToTextly supports MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, WebM, OPUS, and most other common audio formats.

How accurate is the audio to text conversion?

We use Whisper-based browser AI. Results are strongest on clear audio in supported languages and can vary with noise, accents, and recording quality.

Is there a file size limit?

Large files can be limited by browser memory and device performance. If a meeting, podcast, or lecture is very long, split the recording into shorter segments for a more reliable run.

Do I need to install anything?

No. TalkToTextly runs in the browser and does not require downloads, extensions, plugins, or an account.

Convert Saved Audio Files to Text

Use this page when the audio already exists: interviews, calls, voice-note exports, podcasts, lectures, or recorder files. Upload the saved file, review the transcript, and export TXT, SRT, VTT, or DOCX. For live microphone dictation, use the speech-to-text page.

Upload Audio to Convert

Browser-first workflow: choose a saved file from your device. Local processing is used when supported, and very large files may depend on browser memory.

How to Convert Audio to Text

Choose Your Audio

Select a saved audio file from your device: MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, OPUS, WebM, or another common format.

Transcribe in the browser

Browser-first processing is used when your device supports it. Very large files, noisy recordings, or constrained mobile sessions may require a smaller model or guarded fallback.

Get Your Text

Review the transcript, fix names or technical terms, then copy or download TXT, SRT, VTT, or DOCX.

Use audio to text when the file already exists

This page is for saved recordings rather than live dictation. Choose it when you already have an audio or video file and need an editable transcript draft.

Recorder and phone files

Upload files from Voice Memos, Android Recorder, handheld recorders, call recorders, or browser downloads after you save them locally.

Media exports

Use MP3, WAV, M4A, WebM, OGG, OPUS, FLAC, and common video/audio exports when your browser can decode them.

Transcript review

Treat the output as a draft. Check names, numbers, acronyms, timestamps, and unclear passages before publishing or sharing.

Not live dictation

If you want to speak into the microphone and create text from fresh speech, the speech-to-text page is the better fit.

How to make saved-file transcripts useful

A raw transcript is strongest when it becomes a reviewed asset for search, notes, captions, or documentation.

Split long files

For long meetings, podcasts, or lectures, process shorter segments to reduce browser memory pressure and make review easier.

Set the language when known

Manual language selection can help when audio includes accents, technical words, or short clips where auto-detect has less context.

Export for the next step

Copy plain text for notes, use DOCX for editing, or export subtitle formats when you need a caption draft.

Keep the file workflow explicit

TalkToTextly reads the file you select. It does not connect to cloud drives, inboxes, calendars, or messaging accounts.
