Convert Audio to Text
Upload an audio file in any format — MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, or AAC — and get editable text with export to TXT, DOCX, PDF, or SRT subtitles.
Converting an audio file into an editable text document
You convert audio to text when a recording sits as a file but a document is easier to work with: pasting a quote into a report, sending a transcript to a colleague in Word, or simply reading instead of listening. DictAI turns a sound file into editable text — upload the recording and the service returns a finished document you can export in the format you need.
The service accepts audio in virtually any common format: MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, AAC, and more. There's no need to convert a voice recorder file or a voice message into some 'correct' format first — the recognition engine processes the original file as is. The output isn't a raw stenogram but structured text: split into lines, with speaker labels (if there are several voices) and timestamps that make it easy to find a moment in the source recording.
The core idea of conversion is flexible output formats. The same recognized text exports to TXT for a quick paste, DOCX for further editing in Word, PDF to send or archive, plus SRT and VTT if you need timed subtitles from the audio. You can edit the text in the browser before export, and for long recordings an AI summary is available — a short digest instead of reading the whole document. Recognition supports 35+ languages.
Conversion accuracy depends on the quality of the source audio, not its format: clean speech in WAV and in compressed MP3 is recognized equally well, while heavy background noise, echo, or several people talking over each other can introduce errors — quick to fix in the editor. You can start for free: the first 30 minutes of conversion are available with no card required, so you can judge the result on your own file.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about DictAI
All common formats are supported: MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, AAC, and more. No need to re-encode the file in advance — upload the original as is.
The recognized text exports to TXT, DOCX (Word), and PDF, plus SRT and VTT if you need timestamped subtitles from the audio.
Yes. Voice recorder files (usually MP3 or M4A) and messenger voice messages (OGG, M4A) upload directly and convert just like any other audio.
Accuracy depends on the clarity of speech, not the format. A compressed MP3 and an uncompressed WAV with equally clean sound are recognized almost identically; noise, echo, and overlapping voices are what hurt.
No. No pre-conversion is needed — the service accepts the original file in any supported format and prepares it for recognition itself.
30 minutes of conversion are free. Longer and heavier files are processed on paid plans or minute packs — the limit depends on your chosen plan.
