How it works

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

1

Open this page on the phone

The upload box works in Chrome and Samsung Internet.

2

Tap the box and pick the recording

Browse to Recordings → Voice Recorder. If the picker does not show it, use Share inside the recorder app to save a copy to My Files first.

3

Read the summary

It is free. A pack opens the full transcript and the exports.

Good to know

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

Example. A 95-minute university lecture recorded in Standard mode is a 68 MB M4A. Uploaded over Wi-Fi from the phone, it is transcribed in about three minutes, with chapters for each section of the lecture. Checked 4 October 2026: an M4A uploaded through this site came back as text.

What comes back

More than a wall of text.

The same four things for every Samsung Voice Recorder 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.
