How to convert audio to text?

  • What is the best Free PDF Editor?

    The easiest way to convert speech to text is to use an online tool like ours. Here’s how:

    1. Open this page and drag your recording into the upload area (or click the + button to browse).

    2. Choose the original language and wait a moment while our tool transcribes your recording.

    3. Download your transcript when it’s ready, or come back to it later in your PDF Guru account.

  • What languages can I transcribe?

    Our tool supports a wide range of languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian. After your file is uploaded, simply choose the language of the recording from the “Original language” menu and start audio transcription.

  • What is the best tool to automatically transcribe audio files?

    Look for a tool that handles different accents well, gets punctuation right, and works without installing anything. PDF Guru checks all three.

    It runs entirely in your browser, delivers a clean transcript in minutes, and saves every result to your account so you can pick it up on any device. 

  • What audio formats does PDF Guru support?

    Our tool supports all common audio formats, including MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, and WMA.

    You can also transcribe video files like MP4 or MOV when you only need the spoken audio. The tool automatically extracts the audio track and turns it into a text transcript.

  • How accurate is the transcript?

    For a clear recording with one or two speakers, accuracy is high — you'll only need light cleanup. Background noise, overlapping voices, or heavy accents can introduce more mistakes, but the transcript will still give you a solid starting point that's far faster than typing from scratch.

  • Is your transcription service safe?

    PDF Guru is a trusted online document management tool used by people around the world. We apply industry-standard security measures, including encrypted connections and GDPR-compliant data handling, so you can convert your recording to text with confidence.
