How to convert audio to Word
- Upload the recording. MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4 or whatever format you have.
- Turn on “Identify speakers” if several people are talking, for example in an interview or a meeting.
- Press “Transcribe” and, when it's done, “Word (DOCX)”.
What the document includes
- The transcription name as the title. You can change it before downloading.
- The text in paragraphs, split by pauses or by changes of speaker.
- Who is speaking in each paragraph, if you turned on “Identify speakers”.
- Timestamps, if you check the “Include timestamps” box.
You don't need Word
The DOCX file opens in Microsoft Word, in Google Docs (upload it to Google Drive and open it), in Pages and in LibreOffice. If you prefer another format, you can also download PDF or plain text (TXT).
Ideal for minutes and interviews
With separate speakers and timestamps, it's easy to turn a meeting into minutes or quote an interviewee without listening to the whole recording again.
