Why bother with this page
Because it does the one thing you came for.
Typing out an hour of recording is a whole afternoon. Let it be transcribed while you get on with something else, then correct the few bits it missed.
◇
No nasty surprises
Read it through before you rely on it. Accents, industry jargon, names and background noise are where you will find the mistakes.

Nobody else sees it
Your upload is deleted the moment the job finishes. The result is private to you, disappears by itself after 24 hours, and you can wipe it sooner with one click.
Before you ask
Audio → text, answered
01Which files can I upload?＋
Any common audio format your browser recognises — MP3, WAV, M4A and the rest. The server checks there is real audio inside before it starts.
02Do I get timings?＋
No. For timed cues, use audio-to-SRT for editors and platforms, or audio-to-VTT for web players.
03Will it be perfect?＋
No, and no automatic transcription is. Treat it as a very fast first draft rather than a finished document.
