From WAV recording to text
Recording apps, music software, and interview gear all save WAV. FreeAudioTranscription opens those files and turns the speech into text without sending anything away.
Journalists and researchers keep masters as WAV. Draft your quotes and notes at your desk instead of handing the master to a third party.

Tips for better WAV transcripts
Plain talking beats a full music mix. Save the voice-only version when you have one.
Audio recorded too loud comes back as garbled text. Record again a bit quieter if the sound distorts.
FAQ
Can I convert WAV to text without uploading?
Yes. Transcription runs in your browser, so the WAV stays on your disk.
Are stereo WAV files supported?
Yes. Stereo files work with no setup on your side.
Is usage unlimited?
Yes. Transcribe as many files as you want.
Is this faster than OpenAI Whisper?
Yes. On typical files it finishes about 10 times faster, because recognition runs on your device instead of waiting on an upload to Whisper.
Do you use cookies?
No. FreeAudioTranscription does not set cookies. Theme, crash recovery, and a short timing hint stay in local storage on your device.
