What types of recordings can I transcribe?

Voice memos, dictations, interviews, phone recordings, podcasts, meetings, and lectures are good fits when saved in a supported audio or video format.

Can I transcribe iPhone voice memos?

Yes! Share your Voice Memo from the iPhone app and upload the M4A file to TalkToTextly.

Is there a limit on recording length?

Files up to 100MB are supported. For very long recordings, consider splitting into segments.

Are my recordings kept private?

Free to use and private by design: local processing is used when your browser and device support it; constrained fallback appears only after a visible notice.

Can I transcribe phone call recordings?

Yes, as long as you have a recording file in a supported audio format (MP3, WAV, M4A, etc.).
