Does it work with audio files?

This tool uses live microphone input. Play your audio file through speakers and use the mic to capture it, or use a virtual audio cable.

Is my speech sent to a server?

In Chrome the audio is processed by Google's servers (part of the Web Speech API). Firefox processes it locally.

What audio formats does Audio to Text support?

Audio to Text supports MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, M4A, and OGG. All processing uses the Web Audio API built into modern browsers — no plugins or software installs required.

Does Audio to Text require any software installation?

No. Audio to Text runs in your browser using native Web Audio APIs. It works on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari without any extensions or plugins.

Will processing audio in the browser affect quality?

For lossless operations (trimming, joining, normalising), there is no quality degradation. Conversions to lossy formats (MP3, AAC) include quality settings so you control the output bitrate.

Is AUDIO to TEXT conversion lossless?

Lossless conversion depends on the formats involved. Converting from a lossless format (PNG, WAV, FLAC) to another lossless format produces no quality loss. Converting to a lossy format (JPG, MP3, AAC) involves compression — you control quality via the settings slider.

Can I convert multiple AUDIO files to TEXT at once?

Yes. Upload multiple files and they are all converted in a single batch, ready to download individually or as a single ZIP archive.

How large can the AUDIO input file be?

Processing happens locally in your browser so limits depend on your device's available memory. Files up to 100 MB are handled without issues on most computers.
