The file you have

Which OneDrive and SharePoint links work.

Works
A link made with Share → Copy link, set to Anyone (Microsoft's wording: anyone who receives the link, including people outside your organisation). Personal links look like 1drv.ms/…; work links look like …sharepoint.com/:v:/….
Does not work
Links set to People in your organisation or Specific people; they open only after a Microsoft sign-in. The address copied from the browser bar while viewing a file (…/Documents/Recordings/…) is not a share link either.
Teams recordings
Meeting recordings land in the organiser's OneDrive (Recordings folder) or the channel's SharePoint site, as MP4.
When 'Anyone' is greyed out
Your administrator has switched it off. Download the recording (⋯ → Download) and upload it in the box above.
Measured here
None of the 4 OneDrive / SharePoint links pasted here in the last 90 days could be transcribed. What went wrong: two came before SharePoint links were supported on 2 October; one opened a picture, not a recording; one work-account link could not be fetched. Our production records, 28 Jul 2026 to 26 Oct 2026.

Sometimes a link works. Paste the Anyone link in the box above. A link that needs a sign-in is answered at once with how to share it, before anything is queued.

How it works

Three steps, the first one is the only one that takes any thought.

1

Share it as Anyone

Select the file → Share → link settings (the gear) → Anyone → Apply → Copy.

2

Paste it here

The file is fetched from Microsoft directly. A one-hour Teams recording is ready a few minutes after it arrives.

3

Tighten sharing again

Once the transcript exists the link is no longer needed; remove it under Manage access.

Good to know

What trips people up, and what to do about it.

Example. A project lead has a 75-minute Teams recording in their OneDrive Recordings folder. They set its link to Anyone, paste it here, and a few minutes later have the decisions list from the summary and the full transcript as DOCX for the meeting notes.

What comes back

More than a wall of text.

The same four things for every OneDrive recording, whatever its length.

A transcript with timestamps

Every line carries its time. Click a line to hear that second again, or search a name or phrase and jump to each place it was said.

A summary, chapters and key quotes

A brief with the takeaways, chapters with their start times, and the quotes worth keeping. Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.

Questions answered from the recording

Ask where a topic came up or what was decided, and get the answer with the time it was said, instead of scrolling the whole text.

Every export

TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, JSON from the same transcript: a document to edit, caption files for video, plain text to paste, structured data for your own tools.

Pricing

Free preview. Packs from $4, and the minutes never expire.

A 75-minute Teams meeting is 75 minutes, so the $4 pack (300 minutes) covers it 4 times over. Every recording gets a free preview, and in 31 countries, or for recordings of an hour or more in most others, a summary you can read before paying; a pack opens the full transcript and every export. Packs are one-time purchases with no subscription and no seat fee.

Pick a pack to open secure checkout. Workspace is $19 a month for unlimited transcription (300-hour fair-use mark). Full pricing

What we measured, last 30 days

3,332 recordings, 2,490 audio hours, 65 languages detected. An hour of audio came back in 3.1 minutes for half of the recordings and within 17.5 minutes for nine in ten, measured from the moment the file landed to the finished transcript. Refreshed 2026-10-28; method on how we test.

FAQ

OneDrive and SharePoint to text, answered.

Can I transcribe a file straight from OneDrive?

Yes, when its share link is set to Anyone. Copy that link and paste it in the box on this page; the file is fetched from Microsoft and transcribed with timestamps.

Why is my SharePoint link refused?

Because it is limited to people in your organisation, or it is the browser address of the file rather than a share link. Make the link with Share → Copy link set to Anyone, or download the file and upload it.

My work account has no 'Anyone' option. What now?

Your administrator has disabled it. Download the recording from OneDrive or SharePoint and upload the file here; it transcribes the same way.

What does transcribing OneDrive recordings cost?

The preview is free, and so is the summary in 31 countries or for recordings of an hour or more. A pack opens the full transcript: $4 for 300 minutes, $18 for 3,000 minutes, $32 for 6,000 minutes. Packs are one-time, credits never expire, and Workspace is $19 a month if you transcribe every week.

How long can the recording be?

One file can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB. The box on this page takes files up to 500 MB; a larger file continues on the main upload page, which uploads it in parts. Most recordings come back in about two minutes per hour of audio.

Is the recording kept private?

Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. You can delete a recording and its transcript at any time.
