Free WAV to Text: Transcribe WAV Audio with Speaker Labels

Upload a wav file and get an accurate, speaker-labeled transcript in minutes - free, in your browser, no install.

TL;DR - WAV-to-text turns a wav audio file into written text. This free tool runs in your browser: upload a wav (or mp3, m4a, aac, ogg) and get an accurate, speaker-labeled transcript in minutes - 90+ languages, no install. Try a file below, or see a sample.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your WAV

    Drag in a wav (or mp3, m4a, aac, ogg) - up to 70 MB.

  2. 2. We transcribe it

    Accurate text in 90+ languages, with each speaker labeled.

  3. 3. Edit & export

    Rename speakers, copy the transcript, or download TXT / SRT.

It labels who said what

WAV is the uncompressed format most recorders and DAWs export - and most converters hand back one undivided wall of text. This one labels each speaker automatically (Speaker 1, Speaker 2…). It works the same for mp3, m4a, aac and ogg - rename the labels, then copy or export.

Sample output

An example of a speaker-labeled transcript - each voice detected automatically.

Speaker 1I exported the interview as a wav so we wouldn't lose any quality. Can it handle a file that size?

Speaker 2As long as it's under about an hour, yes - just upload it and it'll label both of us.

Speaker 1Great, then I can drop the quotes straight into the article.

Who it's for

Anyone with a wav file: field recordings, interviews, meetings and studio captures - any wav you want turned into accurate, speaker-labeled text you can search, edit and share.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert WAV to text for free?

Upload your wav here and get a transcript free in your browser; sign in with Google to run it. There's no software to install.

Can I transcribe mp3, m4a, aac or ogg too?

Yes - mp3, m4a, wav, aac and ogg are all supported, up to 70 MB (about 1 hour of audio) per file.

Is the WAV to text tool really free?

Yes - it's free. You get a few transcripts a day; sign in with Google to run it. No app install.

Does it label who said what?

Yes. It auto-detects and labels each speaker (Speaker 1, Speaker 2…) - speaker labels that most free wav converters don't include.

How long can the WAV be?

Up to 70 MB per file. WAV is uncompressed and large, so a long recording can exceed that - trim it or convert to m4a/mp3 if needed.

How accurate is it?

High accuracy on clear audio across 90+ languages. Background noise, crosstalk and heavy accents are the hardest cases for any transcriber.

What languages does it support?

90+ languages, detected automatically; the transcript comes back in the spoken language.

Can I edit and export the transcript?

Yes - rename the speaker labels, copy the text, or download TXT and SRT right in the browser.

Do I need to install anything?

No - it runs entirely in your browser. No Python, no Whisper setup, no desktop app.

Is my file private?

Your audio file is auto-deleted within 24 hours and your transcript after 30 days; neither is used for AI training.
