Live dictation works in Chrome, Edge and Safari. This browser does not support it, so use one of those, or transcribe a file below.
Speech recognition adds no punctuation and can mishear names. Always read it through before you publish. Captions use the timing of your dictation.
Transcribe an audio file
MP3, WAV or M4A up to 60 MB or 30 minutes. Your audio is sent securely to our AI service in short parts to be transcribed and is not kept.
Transcribing uploaded audio files switches on when the site owner connects the AI service. Live dictation above works now.
This browser cannot read text aloud. Try Chrome, Edge or Safari.
Download as MP3
Creates a natural voice-over file you can drop into your video editor. Up to 6,000 characters.
Playing aloud is free and works now. Saving the voice as an MP3 file switches on when the site owner connects the AI service, because free browser voices can only play live.
Tip: the speed and time estimate help you plan a video. Most narrators speak at 130 to 170 words a minute.
