About this app

Would you rather read a WhatsApp voice message? Or record an idea before you forget it? Import an OGG, WAV or MP3 file, or record with your device’s microphone. Stop recording, listen to the preview and turn speech into editable text.

Transcription happens entirely on your device. The app does not send your audio or text over the internet or through our servers. First use requires a connection to prepare the app; after that, resources saved in your browser let you transcribe offline too. Keep the app open and your device awake while it works.

Audio and text stay together in this browser’s history. Reopen a record to listen, edit, copy or download the text as TXT. To free up space, delete only the audio and keep the transcription. Download audio separately to keep a copy; XLSX and HTML exports include only text and details.

A short sound lets you know when transcription finishes, with an option to turn it off in settings. The interface is available in Portuguese, English, Spanish and French. The speech language is independent, with automatic detection or manual selection. Transcription keeps the original language, without translation.

One audio file at a time, up to 30 MB and 10 minutes. Recording requires microphone permission and a compatible browser. Processing time and accuracy depend on the audio and device: check names, numbers and important passages. Clearing browser data may erase history; download your audio and export your text to keep a copy.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to send audio to a server?

No. Recording and transcription happen on your device. The initial download and general platform services may use the internet, without receiving audio or text content from the app.

Does the interface language limit the audio language?

No. The interface offers Portuguese, English, Spanish and French. The speech language is independent: use automatic detection or choose it before transcribing.

Does the app translate audio?

No. Transcription keeps the original language of the speech.

Can I delete audio without losing the transcription?
