Pixie Audio to Text
Upload a voice memo, interview, lecture, podcast, or meeting recording โ or record live from your microphone โ and get an accurate text transcript back. Powered by OpenAI's Whisper model, it handles dozens of languages and auto-detects the spoken language if you are not sure. Copy the transcript and you are done.

Tip: clear recordings with little background noise transcribe most accurately. Recording uses your device mic and needs permission; your audio is sent securely for transcription and is not stored.
How the Audio to Text works
Three simple steps. No signup. No installation.
Upload or record
Drag in an mp3, m4a, wav, ogg, flac, or webm file (up to 25 MB), or record live from your mic.
Choose the language
Leave it on auto-detect, or pick the spoken language for best accuracy.
Get your transcript
The recording is transcribed and the text appears ready to copy.
Speech recognition, finally good enough to trust
Automatic transcription used to be a punchline โ the kind of feature that turned "recognize speech" into "wreck a nice beach" โ but the technology crossed a real threshold with large speech models trained on enormous, diverse audio. OpenAI's Whisper, which powers this tool, was trained on hundreds of thousands of hours of multilingual speech, and the result is a transcriber that copes gracefully with accents, casual speech, technical vocabulary, and a fair amount of background noise. It also detects the spoken language automatically and can transcribe dozens of them, which is why a single tool can handle an English podcast, a Spanish interview, and a Hindi voice memo without you changing any settings. Under the hood the model listens to the audio in short overlapping windows and predicts the most likely sequence of words, using its language understanding to disambiguate similar-sounding phrases from context โ the same principle that lets a human catch a mumbled word because they know what the sentence is about. The practical limits are honest ones: extremely noisy recordings, several people talking over each other, and very long files are still hard, and like any model it can occasionally invent a plausible-sounding word in a silent or garbled stretch, so a quick read-through is wise before you rely on a transcript. Used well, though, it collapses one of the most tedious knowledge-work tasks there is โ turning hours of spoken audio into searchable, editable, shareable text โ from an afternoon into a couple of minutes, freeing interviews, meetings, lectures, and podcasts to be summarized, quoted, captioned, and translated.
