WAV transcription

WAV to text, with a transcript you can actually use

Upload a WAV file for interview recorders, field recorders and studio masters and get a timestamped transcript, a summary and subtitle files. Nothing needs to be installed, and you can start with the free daily allowance.

WAV is uncompressed and gets large quickly. A 25 MB stereo 44.1 kHz WAV is only a few minutes, so split long files or record in short segments inside VoxNote. One AI request is capped at 5 MB.

Summary, quotes and actions

Ask for key quotes, action items or show notes instead of a generic recap.
