The file you have

What Ringr gives you.

Combined file: Every plan can download the conversation as one combined file; on the basic plan it is a single mono MP3.
Split tracks: Premium can download each participant as an independent file, plus stereo files and other formats (high-bitrate MP3, OGG, FLAC).
Where it lands: Ringr emails the host a download link once both sides have uploaded; save the file to your computer.
Typical size: About 30–60 MB an hour as MP3.

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.

Download from Ringr

Use the link Ringr sends, or your recordings list, and save the combined MP3.

Drop it here

MP3, OGG and FLAC all upload as they are.

Use the transcript

Quotes with timestamps for the article, or chapters and summary for the episode.

Good to know

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

Wait for both sides to upload. Each phone sends its own recording after the call; a file downloaded before the guest's upload finishes has only one side.
Upload the combined file for a full transcript. Split tracks transcribe each voice on its own.
A Ringr share link is a page, not audio. Download the file and upload it rather than pasting the link.
Tell your guest you are recording. Ringr records each side locally, so the guest's device holds a copy too.

Example. A journalist interviews a source for 38 minutes over Ringr and downloads the combined MP3, about 20 MB. The transcript is back in about a minute and a half, and the quotes are found by searching the text instead of scrubbing the audio.

What comes back

More than a wall of text.

The same four things for every Ringr 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 38-minute interview is 38 minutes, so the $4 pack (300 minutes) covers it 7 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.

FAQ

Ringr to text, answered.

Which Ringr download should I use?

The combined file. It holds both sides of the conversation; split tracks are for transcribing each person on their own.

Can I paste a Ringr link?

No. Download the audio from Ringr and upload the file.

The guest's side is missing. Why?

Ringr joins the two sides only after both devices upload their recordings. Wait for the guest's upload to finish, then download again.

What does transcribing Ringr 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.
