Transcribe Audio in 46 Languages
Every language has its own page with tips for names, accents, and formatting in that language.
From Recording to Readable Text
Somewhere on your phone there’s an interview, a lecture, a meeting, or a voice memo that would be far more useful as text — searchable, quotable, shareable. Typing it out yourself takes four times the length of the recording. Drop it here instead: the AI listens once and hands back the whole thing as clean text, split into timestamped segments so you can jump straight to any moment.
Built for real recordings, in real languages
This is the same AI transcription engine behind the Notevibes editor, and it handles the recordings people actually make — phone audio, accents, two people talking over coffee — in 46 languages. Each language has its own dedicated page with specifics for that language; the tool on this page auto-detects what it hears.
Free, private, honest limits
Transcription here is free with no account. Your file uploads over an encrypted connection, is processed on our own servers, and the temporary copy is cleaned up when the request finishes — never shared, never used to train AI. Fair-use limits (a few files per minute, 40 MB per file) keep it free for everyone.
More than transcription
Working from a video? The video to text page takes those directly. Want to type by talking instead of transcribing a file? That’s speech to text. And if the recording needs cleanup first — noise, levels, trims — open it in the editor and describe what you want.
Long Recording? Use the Editor
Full-length interviews and episodes transcribe in the Notevibes editor — any length, with the audio right there to clean up, trim, and export alongside the text.

What happens to my recording?
