2-hour file · about 4 min · DOCX export

How do you get a Word document from a recording? Transcribe it and download DOCX.

Upload the recording, let it transcribe, and download the DOCX export: one file can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB (2 GB before your first pack), and a 2-hour recording is ready in about 4 minutes, at about 2 minutes per audio hour. The first 20 minutes are free to try, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes transcribes the rest and opens the downloads, enough for four 2-hour recordings.

Packs from $6, credits never expire · then from $0.36/hour · Credits never expire · Never used to train AI

✓DOCX, TXT, SRT, VTT, JSON · ✓2 hours in about 4 minutes · ✓First 20 minutes free · ✓No subscription

Audio in, .docx out

Three steps, and what to do with the file afterwards.

Upload or paste a link

Audio and video both work: MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, MOV and more. The box on this page takes files up to 500 MB; a bigger one continues on the upload page, still within 10 hours or 5 GB. A YouTube, Vimeo or Google Drive link saves the upload entirely.

Download DOCX

When the transcript is ready, pick DOCX from the exports. The same run offers TXT for plain text, SRT and VTT for captions, and JSON for scripts, so you never transcribe the same file twice to get a second format.

Open it where you write

A .docx file opens in Microsoft Word, and Google Docs and Apple Pages can open or import it as well. From there it is an ordinary document: headings, comments, track changes and your house template all apply.

Add the summary on top

Copy the brief, with its thesis and takeaways, and the chapter list with times into the top of the document. A reader then gets the overview first and the full text below, which suits reports, minutes and research notes.

Typing it out

The long way to a Word file.

✗ Typing from the audio

A two-hour recording takes most of a day to type, and longer if the audio is poor.

Pause, type, rewind, repeat
Copying text out of a caption file
Tools that only export plain text
Free tiers that stop at 30 or 60 minutes
A video too large to upload
No timestamps to check a line

✓ Downloading DOCX

The document exists minutes after the upload finishes.

About 4 minutes for 2 hours
DOCX ready to open and edit
Brief and chapters to paste above
Timestamps in the app to check a line
Links fetched without downloading
Other formats from the same run

00:00:48 Okay, it's recording. Let's go through the project plan section by section.

00:22:16 The deadline for the first draft is the fifteenth, and the review is a week after.

00:57:39 I'd move the testing phase earlier. We found most problems late last time.

FAQ

Recordings into Word, answered.

Is the DOCX download free?

The first 20 minutes of a first recording are transcribed free so you can read the result. The downloads, DOCX included, come with a pack: $6 for 500 minutes is the smallest, one-time, and credits never expire.

What does it cost for a month of recordings?

Ten 1-hour recordings are 600 minutes, a little more than the smallest pack, so the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes covers them with 1,400 left. One full 8-hour day is 480 minutes and fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes.

Does the Word file show the speakers?

Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters. Copy those into the document if your readers need them; the transcript text itself is the speech in order.

My recording is on an old dictation tape.

Digitise it first: play it into a computer or a digital recorder and save it as MP3 or WAV. Then upload that file and download DOCX as usual.

Can I get a Word file from a 6-hour video?

Yes. Six hours takes about 12 minutes. If the video is over 2 GB, it uploads once a pack is on the account; extracting the audio first makes it much smaller and changes nothing in the text.

Who sees the document?

Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. The DOCX is yours to download, and the recording and transcript can be deleted at any time.

From recording to .docx. About 4 minutes for two hours.
