How does speech to text transcription work?
Upload an audio file or record directly in the browser. The tool uses speech recognition to convert spoken words into text. Supported formats: MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, and WebM. Results include the full transcript with optional timestamps and speaker identification.
What audio formats are supported for transcription?
MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, WebM, and AAC. Maximum file size: 100MB. For best accuracy, use clear audio with minimal background noise. Sample rate of 16kHz or higher is recommended. The tool automatically converts formats during processing.
How accurate is the speech to text conversion?
90-95% accuracy for clear English speech with minimal background noise. Accuracy varies by: audio quality, speaker accent, background noise, and vocabulary. Professional recordings achieve 95%+. Phone calls and noisy environments may drop to 80-85%. Review and edit the transcript for best results.
Can I transcribe audio in multiple languages?
Yes. The tool supports 50+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, and Portuguese. Set the language before transcription for best accuracy. Auto-detection is available but manual selection is more reliable.
How do I improve speech to text accuracy?
Use high-quality audio (16kHz+ sample rate). Minimize background noise. Speak clearly at a moderate pace. Use an external microphone instead of laptop mic. For existing recordings, apply noise reduction before transcription. The tool's accuracy improves with clearer audio input.
