SpeechText.AI — Stop Typing Up Your Own Meetings

You just got off a 45-minute interview and now you’re staring at an hour of rewinding, pausing, and retyping to turn it into notes. SpeechText.AI does that part for you: it’s an audio transcription tool online that converts audio and video into accurate, editable text. Built for anyone who records interviews, lectures, or meetings and needs a written version fast.

What it is

SpeechText.AI is an audio to text transcription AI — you upload a recording, and it hands back a text document with the words, timestamps, and (if there’s more than one speaker) who said what. No microphone or live recording needed; it works on files you already have, like a phone voice memo, a Zoom recording, or a downloaded podcast.

Try it in 5 minutes

1. Go to speechtext.ai and sign up with your email — the free tier is enough for a quick test.
2. Click “New Transcription” and upload an audio or video file (MP3, WAV, MP4, and most common formats work).
3. Pick the spoken language, then turn on “automatic punctuation” and “speaker separation” if more than one person is talking.
4. If the recording has names, brands, or jargon a generic tool would misspell, drop them into the custom vocabulary box before you transcribe:

Custom vocabulary: Aravind Srinivas, Kubernetes, dailyskill.ai, Q3 OKRs

5. Hit transcribe, wait for it to process (roughly real-time or a bit faster), then export as plain text, Word, or SRT subtitles.

A real example

Input: a 12-minute recorded phone interview between a reporter and a startup founder, uploaded as an MP3.

00:03:12 Speaker 1: So walk me through why you decided to bootstrap instead of raising a seed round.
00:03:18 Speaker 2: Honestly, it came down to control. We’d seen friends lose the vision of their product chasing growth numbers for investors…

You get clean, speaker-labeled, timestamped text you can scan, search, or paste straight into an article — instead of scrubbing back and forth through an audio player.

Honest take

Best for:
– Journalists and researchers who need to transcribe meeting recordings or interviews into searchable text
– Students turning recorded lectures into notes they can actually study from
– Teams who want a free speech to text converter for quick internal meeting recaps

Not for:
– Heavy daily use — the free tier caps out at around 30 minutes of audio a month, so regular users will hit the paywall fast
– Noisy recordings with multiple people talking over each other; accuracy drops noticeably when audio quality is poor

FAQ

Is it free? There’s a free tier, but it’s limited to about 30 minutes of transcription a month — fine for testing, tight if you transcribe often.

Is it safe to upload recordings? Treat it like any cloud tool: avoid uploading anything with sensitive personal or confidential business information unless you’ve checked the site’s current privacy and data-handling terms yourself.

Do I need an account? Yes, a free email signup is required before you can upload and transcribe your first file.
