Okay so tomorrow's client call — I need to pull the Q2 report, the new pricing tier mock from Figma, and check whether the Stripe webhook actually fired for the test charge. Also, do not forget to send Maria the SOC2 checklist before 9 a.m. — she said she's blocked on the vendor questionnaire.

[00:00] HOST: …so when you say 'AGI', what definition are you working with this year?
[00:09] GUEST: A system that can do most knowledge work as well as a competent professional, end-to-end, including the parts that need taste and judgment.
[00:24] HOST: That's a really tight definition compared to two years ago.
[00:30] GUEST: Right. Two years ago I would have said something more about generality. Now I think the marketable, useful test is economic — can you hand it the job?
[00:50] HOST: And how close are we?

Tips for Best Results

  • Record in a quiet space and keep the microphone close to the speaker for the cleanest transcript.
  • If a recording is longer than 25 MB, split it into shorter segments and transcribe each one.
  • Convert lossless formats to MP3 to fit more minutes under the size limit without hurting accuracy much.
  • Proofread names, jargon, and numbers, since these are the words most likely to need a small correction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Audio Transcriber do?

It converts a spoken-audio file into written text. You upload a recording and it returns a transcript that keeps the original language, which you can then copy or download.

Which audio formats and file size can I upload?

It accepts MP3, WAV, M4A, WebM, OGG, FLAC, and MP4 files up to 25 MB. For longer recordings, trim or split the file so each part stays under the limit.

Do I need to choose the language first?

No. Whisper detects the spoken language automatically across dozens of languages, so you can upload without setting anything. The transcript comes back in the same language that was spoken.

How accurate is the transcription?

Accuracy is high for clear speech with little background noise. Heavy accents, crosstalk, music, or poor recording quality can introduce errors, so a quick proofread is worth it for important documents.

Can I use the transcripts commercially?

Yes. You own the transcript output and can use it in articles, captions, notes, or client work. Free covers 5 transcriptions per day with no signup; Pro is $19/month for higher volume.

What happens to my uploaded audio?

Your file is processed only to produce the transcript and is then discarded. We do not keep your recordings or use them to train models.

Does it add timestamps or speaker labels?

The output is a continuous text transcript focused on the spoken words. It does not split text by speaker; for clean results, upload audio with one clear primary speaker where possible.
