The file you have

What a VoiceTracer saves.

Format
MP3 (HQ, SP or LP quality modes on the DVT2050) or PCM WAV for lossless stereo.
Where it is
On the recorder's internal memory or memory card. Connect by USB and it appears as a drive.
Typical size
About 30–60 MB an hour as MP3; about 1 GB an hour as 48 kHz stereo WAV.

There is no link to paste for this one. Get the file onto your phone or computer first, then upload it in the box above.

How it works

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

1

Connect by USB

Open the drive that appears and find the recording.

2

Copy it to your computer

Then drop it in the box on this page.

3

Read the summary

About two minutes per hour of audio; a pack opens the full transcript and exports.

Good to know

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

Example. A project manager records a 2-hour planning meeting on a DVT4110 in MP3 HQ, about 110 MB. The transcript is back in about four minutes, with decisions and owners listed in the summary.

What comes back

More than a wall of text.

The same four things for every VoiceTracer 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 2-hour meeting is 120 minutes, so the $4 pack (300 minutes) covers it twice. 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

How do I transfer recordings from a Philips VoiceTracer?

Connect it to your computer by USB, open the drive that appears, and copy the MP3 or WAV file.

What does transcribing VoiceTracer 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.
