What Cockatoo is

Cockatoo is an AI speech-to-text tool. The homepage emphasises speed and accuracy, converting audio and video files into text, with support for many languages and dialects and export to SRT, DOCX, PDF and TXT, plus in-browser editing.

What you can do with it

• Transcribe an interview or meeting quickly
• Produce SRT files for video
• Draft a podcast manuscript
• Archive recordings as searchable text

Who it is for

• Journalists and researchers
• Podcast and course teams
• Customer interview teams

What to watch out for

• Speed does not remove the need for proofreading, especially for names, numbers and legal or medical terms
• Strong accents, crosstalk, noise and jargon reduce accuracy
• Timelines and speaker attribution in subtitles need checking
• Confirm data handling before uploading confidential recordings
