How do I convert audio to text?

Upload an audio or video file above. TransClipper runs AI speech-to-text and shows your transcript in the browser. You can copy or download it as plain text. Sign-in is required; usage limits depend on your plan.

Can I transcribe a video file?

Yes. MP4, MOV, WebM, and similar uploads are accepted—we extract the audio track and transcribe it, similar to dedicated video-to-text workflows.

What about links from YouTube or TikTok?

For platform URLs, use our TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube transcript generators in the footer—they import the video and build a full workspace transcript. This page is optimized for files you already have on disk.

Which languages are supported?

The same speech models TransClipper uses for video transcription apply here—English plus several alternatives for recognition. Quality is best on clear audio with minimal background noise.

Files are processed on the server for transcription and are not kept for this preview flow. Follow your own retention and privacy policies for sensitive recordings.

Free accounts get a small number of preview runs per day, with each file limited to 60 seconds of audio and a modest max file size. Paid plans allow longer clips (up to 5 or 10 minutes, matching your video import limits) and larger uploads. See the usage banner when you are signed in.
