While the process is a little different depending on your transcription software, you can follow these quick steps to transcribe MP3 files to text:

  1. Record your MP3 audio in high-quality resolution.

Can audio be converted to text?

Yes, audio can be converted into text manually, or through transcription software. Transcribing manually requires listening to audio and then writing out what you hear which can take hours! A faster approach is transcription software that uses speech recognition technology to analyze sounds and form coherent words for transcriptions. 

If you’re transcribing audio from video, don't worry! Video transcription is just as simple.

What is the best way to convert audio to text?

It depends on what type of transcriptions you are looking for. If you’re looking for extremely accurate transcripts, it might be better to transcribe manually either on your own or via a professional transcriber. If you’re looking to save time, we recommend transcribing with an online audio to text converter. This can take minutes or at most a few hours, depending on what software you choose.

How do I convert audio to text for free?

You can convert audio to text online for free with free transcription software. It’s even possible to convert MP3 files to text for free using Google Docs’s voice typing feature. If you’re using transcription software, it’s important to be extra careful in choosing software that is still accurate and robust. We recommend checking out Riverside for accurate AI transcription.
