Lecture transcription

Record the lecture, upload it, and read it back as searchable text — every line timestamped, so a half-heard definition takes seconds to find.

  • Search the lecture instead of scrubbing it
  • Every line clicks back to the audio
  • DOCX and PDF for revision notes

No sign-up needed — 1 free transcript a day. A free account gives you 3 a day and keeps them.

Notes you can actually search in revision week

A two-hour recording is a bad place to look for one definition. As text it is searchable: find the term, click the line, hear it said again in context. What the transcript will not do is the thinking — it gives you the words, and the summary is still yours to write.

How it works

Three steps to your first transcript

  1. Drop in your file

    Audio or video of any length; the free plan transcribes the first 30 minutes of each file. MP3, MP4, M4A, WAV, MOV and a dozen more.

  2. Pick the language

    Leave the language on automatic or set it for better accuracy. Turn on speaker recognition if you need to know who said what.

  3. Read, edit, export

    The transcript opens with clickable timestamps — read it and fix a name straight away. A free account keeps it and exports it as TXT; DOCX, PDF, SRT and VTT come with the unlimited plan.

FAQ

Questions before you upload

Transcribe a file

How long can the recording be?

The free plan transcribes the first part of each file; the unlimited plan takes full-length recordings, which covers a lecture or a seminar in one go. The exact limits are on the pricing page.

Can I record straight into the app?

Yes, there is a recorder built in, so a laptop or phone in the lecture theatre is enough. Files recorded elsewhere upload just as well.

Will it get technical terms right?

Common ones, usually. Unfamiliar names and field-specific jargon are where any model guesses. Fix them once in the editor and the correction carries into every export.

Working in another language?

All of this works in 62 languages. These are the ones asked for most, each with its own page.
