Free Online Audio & Video Transcriber

Whether it is a class lecture, a podcast episode, an interview recording or a voice memo, this tool converts speech to text automatically. The transcription is powered by the Whisper AI model running locally on your device, so it works without sending your files to any server — fast, free and unlimited.

100% Private — Transcription Happens on Your Device

Unlike online transcription services that upload your recordings to their servers, everything here runs inside your own browser. Your video and audio files never leave your device, making this ideal for sensitive meetings, personal voice notes and client work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the transcription work?

When you upload a file, an AI speech-recognition model (Whisper) loads in your browser and converts the spoken audio into text. The first transcription downloads the AI model once (about 40–75 MB depending on the model you choose); after that it is cached and works instantly.

Which languages are supported?

The tool auto-detects the spoken language across 100+ languages, and you can also lock it to English, Urdu, Hindi or Arabic for better accuracy. Mixed-language audio generally still transcribes well.

Can I paste a Facebook or Instagram video link directly?

No — social media sites do not allow any website to fetch their videos directly. Download the video to your device first (using any video downloader), then drop the file here for transcription.

Is there a file length limit?

Clips up to about 15 minutes transcribe smoothly on most devices; the hard cap is 30 minutes. Longer files take more time because the AI runs on your own device rather than a server.
