Timestamps come from the captions or the audio itself — never guessed.

Search the transcript

Search the transcript immediately after processing, then jump to matching text instead of replaying the entire recording. For an audio to srt file workflow, this makes long interviews easier to review before you copy or download the text.

Searching a timestamped audio transcript

Keep timing with every line

Each returned transcript is organized around the audio timeline, so you can inspect where a sentence belongs. If you need mp3 to srt, start with an MP3 recording and review the timed text before preparing subtitles.

Take subtitles with you

Copy selected text or download the TXT result for notes and editing. Pro export supports SRT or VTT, giving an audio to srt file workflow an importable subtitle format rather than a plain block of words.

How the transcript is made

  1. Step 1

    Upload a recording

    Choose one audio file and upload it. The tool accepts MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG, OPUS, and M4B, with one file processed at a time.

  2. Step 2

    Check the setup

    No extra generator settings are required: confirm the file is the recording you want transcribed, then start the run with the Transcribe audio button.

  3. Step 3

    Wait for the result

    Processing listens to the audio and returns a timestamped transcript. Credit use is 4 credits per audio minute, rounded up to the whole minute.

  4. Step 4

    Search and download

    Search or copy the transcript, download TXT, and use the timed result for an audio to srt file workflow. Pro users can export SRT or VTT when that format is needed.

Common audio formats

Upload MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG, OPUS, or M4B. These accepted audio formats let you begin with the recording you already have.

A focused upload

The configured input takes one audio file per run. That keeps the task focused on one recording and gives you a single transcript to inspect after processing.

Review the words

Search the returned transcript and copy the text you need. This is useful when you want to verify a passage before downloading it or preparing subtitles.

Know the credit rule

Transcription costs 4 credits per minute of audio, rounded up to the whole minute. A recording that passes a minute boundary uses the next whole-minute amount.

Download plain text

The built-in download is TXT, which works well for notes, editing, and archiving. It is a text result, not a claim that subtitles are burned into video.

Export subtitle formats

Pro export supports SRT or VTT, so you can convert audio to srt when you need timed captions. The resulting audio to srt file is meant for import into subtitle-aware workflows, not as a video burn-in.
