What Audio2Text is

Audio2Text is an online audio-to-text service. It takes uploaded audio files and returns text, and the site describes support for multiple languages and audio formats, with usage sold through credit packs rather than a recurring plan.

What you can do with it

• Convert a recording into text
• Transcribe interviews or class recordings
• Organise voice memos into notes
• Test quality with a small amount of audio first

Who it is for

• Occasional users
• Journalists and students
• People who prefer pay-per-use

What to watch out for

• Estimate credits against audio length before uploading long files
• Quality falls with noise, accents, speaker overlap and unclear recordings; test with a section first
• Do not upload confidential meetings or sensitive interviews without checking how the audio is processed and stored
• Transcripts should be proofread before publishing, especially names, numbers and tone
