What you get
Voice messages from messengers
Voice messages from Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage and other apps work. Save the message to your phone and add it as a file.
Recording in the browser
Press Record, speak, and the text starts processing as soon as you stop. The microphone works on the phone and on the computer.
Text with timestamps
Every paragraph is tied to its moment in the recording. Click a timestamp and the player jumps there.
SRT, VTT, TXT and Word
Subtitle files for video editors, plain text and a Word document with the title and timestamps, ready to edit.
Speakers separated
When several people talk, the text shows who is speaking. Handy for interviews, calls and meetings.
90+ languages
The recording can be in any language. The text is written in the language of the speech.
The words of any recording as text
Lecture notes, a voice message from a friend, an interview or your own thoughts said aloud all start with the text. Add the file and the service listens to the whole recording, writes down what was said and splits it into paragraphs with timestamps.
Timestamps can be turned on and off. Copy the result or save it as a file: SRT and VTT open in video editors and players, TXT and Word are for notes and articles.
It works with recordings in any language and with several speakers. A short summary comes with the text and stays hidden under a button until you need it.
