Frequently asked questions

How do I convert audio to text online?

Upload an MP3, WAV or any other audio file to TranscribeIt — the service recognizes speech and returns text with timestamps. Free, no software, no registration.

How do I transcribe a video to text?

Upload an MP4, MKV, MOV or WebM video — the service extracts the audio track itself and turns speech into text with timestamps.

How do I create SRT subtitles from a video?

After transcription, download the result as SRT or VTT — a subtitle file with timestamps ready for YouTube, editing or any video player.

Which languages are recognized?

20 languages including English, Russian and Ukrainian, plus automatic language detection.

Can I translate a recording straight to English?

Yes, enable the translation option — the service recognizes speech in any supported language and outputs English text right away.

Is it free?

Yes, transcription is completely free, with no hidden fees, file limits or watermarks.

Do I need to install anything or sign up?

No, everything runs in the browser. Registration is optional, but after signing in your finished transcriptions are kept in your library for 30 days.

How do I transcribe a podcast, lecture or call?

Upload a recording of a podcast, lecture, interview or call — you get the full text with timestamps that is easy to quote and search.

Can I see the processing progress?

Yes, the service shows live progress in percent, and processing continues on the server even if you refresh the page.

What is the maximum file size?

Up to 2 GB per file — enough for multi-hour recordings of calls, webinars and podcasts.

Is it safe, and are my files deleted?

Processing happens locally on the author's server; guest files are automatically deleted after an hour, files saved to the library — after 30 days.

Can I get word-level timestamps?

Yes, enable timestamps — the JSON export contains per-word timing, while SRT and VTT carry phrase-level timestamps.
