Need to transcribe an interview, meeting recording, or voice memo? AI speech recognition has gotten remarkably accurate — and with ToolLab, you can transcribe audio files for just the cost of the OpenAI API.
How Speech to Text Works
- Upload your audio file — MP3, WAV, MP4, M4A, WebM
- Click transcribe — OpenAI Whisper processes your file
- Get your text — copy, download, or use it directly
What It's Great For
- Meeting notes — transcribe recordings instead of taking manual notes
- Interviews — journalists and researchers: turn recorded interviews into searchable text
- Lectures & classes — convert recorded lectures into study notes
- Content creation — transcribe podcast episodes for show notes and blog posts
- Voice memos — turn quick thoughts into actionable text
- Accessibility — generate captions and transcripts for video content
BYOK — Pay Only for What You Use
ToolLab uses your OpenAI API key for transcription. Whisper costs $0.006 per minute of audio — a 30-minute interview costs about 18 cents to transcribe. You get state-of-the-art accuracy at cost, and your key (and content) stays private.
Supported Formats
MP3, MP4, MPEG, MPGA, M4A, WAV, and WebM files are all supported. Maximum file size is 25MB — that's roughly 2-3 hours of compressed audio.
