How it works
Upload the recording
MP3, M4A, WAV, voice memos, Zoom, Teams or phone recordings, or a video (MP4, MOV). Up to 2 hours.
Speakers are told apart
AI speech recognition transcribes the audio and detects each voice, so every line is tagged Speaker A, Speaker B and so on.
Name them and export
Tap a speaker to rename them everywhere, then copy the text or download TXT, SRT or VTT with the names in it.

Transcribe an interview with speaker identification
Drop the recording on the box above with Label speakers ticked. The whole recording is transcribed in one go, so the same voice keeps the same label from the first minute to the last. Each change of speaker starts a new paragraph with the speaker's name and the time.
A one-hour interview usually takes under a minute once the upload is done.
Who it's for
- Journalists and writers: quote an interview accurately and find any answer by its timestamp.
- Researchers: qualitative interviews, focus groups and user research sessions, ready to code and quote.
- Podcasters: show notes, quotes and a readable transcript of host and guest.
- Hiring and HR: job interviews and exit interviews, with each person's answers kept apart.
- Meetings and calls: Zoom, Teams or Meet recordings and phone calls, with a record of who agreed to what.
Price
Speaker labels use credits: 3 credits per started 10 minutes. A 30-minute interview is 9 credits and a 1-hour interview is 18, so the $5 pack (200 credits) covers about 11 hours of interviews. If the transcript fails, the credits come back automatically.

Privacy
With speaker labels the recording is sent in one piece to our speech provider and deleted there as soon as the transcript is back. We keep the labelled transcript for one day so you can reload the page, then it's gone. For videos already online, paste the link on the video to text converter; for plain audio, use the audio to text converter.

How do I transcribe an interview with speaker names?
Sign in, tick Label speakers and drop the recording on the box. You get the transcript split by speaker (Speaker A, Speaker B…). Tap a speaker's name to rename them everywhere, then copy or download it.
How many speakers can it tell apart?
As many as are in the recording; two to five is typical for interviews, panels and meetings. Clear audio, with people not talking over each other, gives the best results.
What does it cost?
3 credits per started 10 minutes, so a 1-hour interview is 18 credits. Credits start at $5 for 200, with no subscription. Without speaker labels, transcripts are free up to 30 minutes.
Which files work?
MP3, M4A (iPhone voice memos), WAV, AAC, OGG, FLAC and WebM audio, plus MP4, MOV and WebM video such as Zoom or Teams recordings. Up to 2 hours.
Do the speaker names show up in the downloads?
Yes. The TXT and copied text put the name before each turn, and SRT and VTT subtitle files carry the speaker on every line.
Is my recording kept?
No. It is deleted at the speech provider as soon as the transcript is ready, and the labelled transcript is kept one day so you can reload the page.
Is it really free?
Yes. You get 5 free transcripts a day with no account and no watermark. If you need more, credits start at $5 for 200 transcripts, with no daily limit, videos up to 2 hours and a bulk tool for lists and whole channels. No subscription.
How accurate is the transcript?
When the video has captions we use them as they are, which is the most accurate option. When it doesn't, the audio is transcribed by AI speech recognition (Whisper), which handles accents, fast talk and background music well. Names and slang can still need a quick check.
Which languages work?
Speech-to-text works in about 100 languages and detects the language for you. Captions come in whatever language the creator or platform added.
Can I get timestamps or subtitles?
Yes. Turn on Timestamps to see the time of each line, or download the transcript as an SRT or VTT subtitle file for video editors and YouTube.
Do you store my videos?
No. We never download or keep the video. We keep the text transcript of public videos for 30 days so the next person who asks for the same video gets it instantly. Files you upload never leave your device: only their audio track is sent for transcription, and neither the audio nor the transcript is kept.
