President Kennedy's Speech at Rice University

NASA Video

From captions18:15EN
But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal?
And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain?
Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic?
Why does Rice play Texas?
We choose to go to the moon.
We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things,
not because they are easy, but because they are hard,
because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills,
because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept,
one we are unwilling to postpone,
and one we intend to win, and the others, too.

How it works

  1. Get the memo as a file

    iPhone: in Voice Memos tap the recording → Share → Save to Files. On a Mac, drag the memo from the Voice Memos app.

  2. Drop it on the box

    Your browser reads the audio and sends only that, compressed, to speech recognition.

  3. Copy or download

    Plain text for notes, timestamps to find a moment, or TXT, SRT and VTT files.

Transcribe iPhone Voice Memos

iPhone Voice Memos are saved as M4A files, which work here as they are. On the phone, open the memo, tap Share and Save to Files, then open this page in Safari and choose the file. On a Mac, drag the memo from the Voice Memos app straight onto the box.

Android recordings

Recordings from Samsung Voice Recorder, Google Recorder and other apps (M4A, MP3, WAV, OGG) work too. Choose the file from your phone's storage or downloads.

Private by design

Your memo isn't uploaded. Your browser pulls out the audio and sends only that, in 10-minute pieces, to the speech model. Nothing is stored: not the file, not the audio, not the transcript.

Recorded a conversation? Tick Label speakers to see who said what, or see interview transcription. Other files: M4A to text, MP3 to text, audio to text.

Questions

Still stuck? Email us.

Can I transcribe a voice memo on my iPhone?

Yes. Save the memo to Files (Share → Save to Files), open this page in Safari and choose the file. The transcript appears on the page, ready to copy.

Does iPhone transcribe voice memos itself?

Recent iOS versions can show a transcript inside the Voice Memos app for some languages. This page works on any phone or computer, in about 100 languages, and lets you download TXT, SRT or VTT.

How long can the memo be?

Up to 30 minutes free. With credits, up to 2 hours, at 1 credit per started 10 minutes.

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.
