Overview
Audio Convert is an online speech to text tool that converts audio and video recordings into accurate, editable text using OpenAI Whisper. Audio Convert covers the whole transcription task rather than the first draft alone: source intake, AI transcription, human review, and export all happen on the same page in the browser, with no desktop install.
Key Features
- Three input paths: upload a saved file (MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV or WEBM, up to 1GB), record live in the browser, or paste a supported media URL.
- AI transcription across 100+ languages with automatic language detection, powered by OpenAI Whisper.
- Speaker identification and timestamps, so interviews, panels and meetings stay traceable back to the source audio.
- An in-browser transcript editor: search passages, correct misheard proper nouns and technical terms, and rename speakers before the transcript leaves the page.
- Exports that match the next step in your workflow: TXT for notes, SRT and VTT for captions, DOCX or PDF for editing, JSON for structured transcript segments.
- Private audio storage; paid plans add AI Summary, AI Analytics, Chat with AI over a transcript, translation across 100+ languages, and email delivery of transcripts.
Use Cases
Journalists transcribe recorded interviews and verify quotes against timestamps. Video creators generate SRT and VTT caption files for YouTube and short-form clips. Students and researchers convert lectures and field recordings into searchable notes. Podcasters produce episode transcripts and show notes. Remote teams turn meeting recordings into editable minutes. Developers export JSON transcript segments into downstream tools.
Getting Started
Open Audio Convert, choose an input (upload, live recording, or media URL), set the source language or leave automatic detection on, and enable speaker identification when it matters. Review the returned transcript in the editor, then pick the export format your next task needs.
Pricing & Plans
Audio Convert is freemium. Five free transcription minutes are available to start. Annual plans begin at $4.90/mo (Starter, 1,440 minutes per year), with Pro at $14.90/mo (7,200 minutes per year, adding AI Summary, AI Analytics, Chat with AI and translation) and Max at $24.90/mo (36,000 minutes per year). One-time minute packs are available for occasional batches.
Audio Convert works in one direction only: spoken media goes in and written text comes out. It is not a text to speech voice generator.
