ToText
Turns MP3 and MP4 files into editable transcripts with speaker labels
About ToText
ToText converts recordings into text you can actually work with. The distinction that matters in transcription tools is between a wall of words and a structured transcript: speaker labels so you know who said what, timestamps so you can jump back to the audio, and an editor so the inevitable errors can be fixed in place rather than in a separate document.
It takes both MP3 and MP4, so a screen recording or a video call export goes in without conversion. Translation is available on top of transcription, which turns it into a route from a recording in one language to a usable document in another. The vendor emphasises privacy for uploaded files, which is worth weighing if the recordings are client calls, interviews or anything covered by an agreement.
Upload an MP3 or MP4. The file is transcribed with speakers separated and timestamps attached, and the result opens in an editor where you correct names, fix misheard terms and adjust the segmentation. From there you export in the format you need, or translate the transcript into another language first. Because it is browser based there is nothing to install, and the flexible export options mean the transcript can go on to subtitles, notes or a document.
- •Speaker labels - Diarisation so a multi-person recording reads as a conversation rather than a monologue.
- •Timestamps - Every segment tied back to a point in the audio for verification.
- •Editable transcript - Correct errors in place before exporting, which every real transcript needs.
- •MP3 and MP4 input - Audio and video both accepted without converting first.
- •Translation - Transcribe in the source language and translate the result.
- •Stated privacy focus - The vendor positions uploads as private, relevant for sensitive recordings.
Suits journalists working through interviews, researchers with recorded sessions, podcasters producing show notes and subtitles, and anyone who records meetings and needs a searchable record afterwards. The speaker labels are what make it useful for interviews specifically, where an unattributed transcript is close to worthless.
Note on pricing: the plans listed are $9.90, $19.90 and $149, and the $149 tier sits far enough from the other two that it is likely a different billing period or a volume package rather than the next monthly step. Check what that tier covers before assuming it is a monthly rate.
