The speech to text tool
Speech to Text: Turn Any Recording Into Editable Text
No install, no desktop app. Point this page at an audio or video file, record something live, or paste a media link, and work on the transcript right here — correct it, search it, export it.

What does speech to text actually do?
Speech to text puts spoken language into writing. Dictation is only the smallest use of it — the value shows up when a recording nobody has time to re-listen to becomes a page you can skim in a minute and quote from accurately.
A transcript keeps the whole spoken record, not the fragments someone managed to type while also paying attention. That is what makes it searchable later, quotable without paraphrase, and usable as input to a summary or an analysis.
Why bother converting speech to text
Recordings accumulate faster than anyone can work through them. Converting them turns a stack of files nobody opens into text that can be searched, quoted, captioned, and reused.
One recording, several outputs
The same job exports to TXT, SRT, DOCX, or JSON, so captions, a document, and your own tooling all come from one pass.
Handle more than one language
Let it detect the spoken language or name it yourself — useful for cross-border calls, mixed-language interviews, and lessons recorded abroad.
One job at a time
This page stays on the task in front of you; anything you ran earlier is filed under Recordings rather than cluttering the view.
Recordings worth transcribing
The same path — in, transcribe, correct, export — covers most of the jobs where the recording matters more than the recording device.
Meetings and team calls: what was decided, what was raised, and who owns the follow-up.
Podcasts and creator work: episodes become show notes, articles, clips, and caption files.
Interviews and research: locate a participant's exact words, and the themes that keep recurring.
Lectures and lessons: teaching audio turned into notes, captions, and revision material.
Video captions: an SRT draft for tutorials, demos, and short-form uploads.
Business records: sales and support calls, user interviews, and project check-ins on file.
All of it on a single page
GPT Transcribe keeps intake, language settings, the transcript, and export controls on a single page.
Bring in a file
Drop in a local file and set the language and speaker options before anything starts running.
Record on the page
Capture from the microphone or from system audio, and send it straight through as the current job.
Start from a link
Give it a link and it fetches the audio itself — no downloading and re-uploading the same file.
Language choice and search
Detect the language automatically or set it yourself, then search the finished transcript for the passage you need.
Who said what
Split the transcript by voice so interviews and multi-person meetings can be read rather than decoded.
Four ways out
Send the result out as TXT, SRT, DOCX, or JSON, depending on whether it is headed for an editor, a video, an archive, or code.
Converting speech to text, step by step
Intake, processing, review, and export happen in the same place — no shuttling a file between a converter, a player, and a text editor.

Speech to text against typing it yourself
Automatic transcription will not make every judgment call a person would, but it gets you the first draft, the caption base, and the searchable record — which is where most of the hours went.
