Turn uploaded voice audio into text

Voice to text is useful when replaying audio is slower than reading. Upload the recording, get a transcript draft, then review it for names, numbers, quotes, and anything that depends on exact wording.

01

Upload your audio

Choose an MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, AAC, M4A, or WebM recording up to 50 MB.

02

Convert speech to text

Sceneform processes the recording and returns a plain transcript you can review.

03

Edit, copy, or download

Check names and important details, then copy the transcript or download it as a TXT file.

Best for recorded audio, not live dictation

This tool is built for audio files you already have. It accepts common recording formats and returns transcript text you can copy, edit, or download.

If you need hands-free typing while you speak, use your browser or operating-system dictation. If you need to process a saved file, upload it here.

What affects transcript quality

Transcription quality is mostly determined by the source audio. Cleaner recordings produce cleaner text.

Clear speech works best

Use recordings with one speaker at a time, low background noise, and a microphone close to the speaker.

Names need review

Proper names, acronyms, product terms, numbers, and technical vocabulary are worth checking before you use the text.

Transcripts are drafts

Use the output as a starting point for notes, captions, drafts, and searchable records, not as a certified transcript.

Use the transcript as a working draft

A transcript helps you search, skim, quote, summarize, and repurpose a recording. It is strongest as a first pass before human review.

For legal, medical, financial, academic, or compliance work, check the transcript against the original audio and use the approved tools required by your organization.
