    How it works

    Convert an MP3 to text in three steps, from any browser.

    1. 1

      Upload

      Drop in an MP3 file up to 10 minutes and pick the language of speech, or leave it on Auto-detect.

    2. 2

      Sign in

      Sign in with Google, Apple or a one-time email code. The transcript is saved to your free ParrotNotes account.

    3. 3

      Get your transcript

      When it is done, the transcript from your MP3 appears on the page, with a short summary next to it.

    More on this in our guides to transcribing a voice memo and transcribing an interview.

    What you get

    More than a wall of text: a transcript of your MP3 you can read, search and pass on.

    • Accurate transcript

      Punctuated text you can read straight through, in the language you picked or the one Auto-detect finds.

    • Summary

      A short written summary of the MP3 sits next to the full transcript.

    • Share link

      Send the transcript to anyone with one link; they do not need an account.

    • Copy as text

      Paste the transcript into a doc, an email or your notes.

    MP3s this works well for

    • Voice recorder and phone recordings exported as MP3
    • WhatsApp and Telegram voice notes saved as MP3
    • Podcast episodes and recorded interviews
    • Zoom, Teams or Meet audio exports
    • Lecture and webinar recordings

    Not an MP3? The Audio to Text Converter takes WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, WEBM and MP4 too.

    Free MP3 to text, and then the app

    You just turned one MP3 into text. ParrotNotes does it for every recording you make, on your phone, with a summary, and keeps them together. The free plan gives you 100 minutes a month, up to 30 minutes per recording. Sign in with the same account and the transcripts you made here are already waiting.
