M4A to text

Recorded on an iPhone, in a voice memo app or on a call? It's probably M4A: AAC audio inside an MP4 container. It's the file that most often arrives here as "I recorded a conversation and now I need the text". Don't rename it, don't convert it, don't run it through an editor — upload it.

  • Straight off the phoneNo conversion, no renaming.
  • Meetings become textEasier to send than an hour of audio.
  • Pin the languageHelps on short recordings.

Three steps and the text is yours

Nothing to install, no plugin, no converting the file first.

  1. 1

    Upload the file

    Audio or video, up to 5 GB. If it's video we only read the audio track — no need to extract anything first.

  2. 2

    Pick the language

    Or leave it on Detect. Pinning the language pays off when the audio is short, noisy or switches between two languages.

  3. 3

    Download the text

    It runs in the background and you can close the tab. When it's done it shows up in your list, ready to download.
