Interviews, voice memos, podcasts, and meeting recordings hold useful information, but going back through an hour of audio to find one quote is slow and tedious. This tool listens to the uploaded audio file and produces a written transcript of everything said, broken into readable segments with timestamps so you can jump straight to a specific moment instead of scrubbing through the whole recording.
It supports common audio formats like MP3, WAV, and M4A, and can distinguish between different speakers when the recording has more than one voice, labeling turns in the conversation rather than running everything together. Background noise, overlapping speech, or heavy accents can reduce accuracy, so it's worth listening back to unclear sections. The audio file and the resulting transcript exist only for your session and aren't stored afterward.
