Does this transcribe pre-recorded audio files?

No. This tool transcribes live speech through your microphone. For pre-recorded files, use the Record Audio to Text tool with your recording playing through a speaker.

What language should I speak for best results?

The tool defaults to your browser's language setting. English, Spanish, French, German, and Hindi all work well.

Can I transcribe a meeting or phone call?

If the audio from the meeting or call plays through your device speakers and the microphone can pick it up, yes. Quality depends on volume and room acoustics.

How Browser-Based Transcription Works

The browser's speech recognition API listens through your microphone and converts speech to text in real time. Transcription surfaces this as a live text display where you can see words appear as you speak.

How to Use FreeAudioKit Transcription

Open Transcription, click Start, and begin speaking. The transcription appears in real time. When finished, copy the text. The tool supports 15+ languages through the browser speech API.

When to Use Live Transcription vs Record to Text

Use live Transcription when you only need the text and do not need the audio file. Use Record Audio to Text when you need both the audio recording and the transcript from the same session.
