Guide

How to transcribe audio

Getting text out of audio takes seconds. Here is the full walkthrough plus tips for the most accurate result.

Step by step

  1. Upload your audio. Drag a file onto the box or click to browse. Voice notes, recordings, meetings, lectures and video files all work. Up to 25 MB.
  2. Pick the language. Leave it on Auto detect or choose the language directly for a little more accuracy. English gives the best results of all.
  3. Choose the model. Fast is great for most audio. For Urdu, Hindi, accents or noisy audio, Accurate gives the best result.
  4. Set options if needed. Turn on Translate to English to get the text in English no matter the spoken language. Turn on Timestamps to also get an SRT subtitle file.
  5. Transcribe. Press Transcribe audio. The text comes back in a few seconds.
  6. Copy or download. Copy the text with one click, or download it as a .txt file. With timestamps on, download the .srt subtitle file too.

About

About AHM7

AHM7 builds small, useful web tools that do one job well. The audio to text transcriber is one of them.

Audio is everywhere, voice notes, meetings, lectures, interviews, but reading is faster than listening and text is easier to search, quote and share. So we built a tool that turns speech into clean text in seconds, without asking you to sign up or pay.

It uses an advanced AI speech engine, so it is quick and accurate. Over time it grew language detection, translation, subtitle export and a choice of models. The goal has stayed the same: keep it fast, keep it free, and keep it simple.
