How do you convert audio to text?

Converting audio to text means turning a spoken recording — a lecture, a voice memo, an interview — into written words you can read, search, and study. With NoteTube you upload an MP3, M4A, or WAV file and a speech-recognition model transcribes it with word-level timestamps, so every word links back to the exact second it was said. Unlike a plain transcription tool, NoteTube doesn’t stop at the transcript: it turns your audio into structured study notes and lets you generate flashcards, quizzes, and summaries from it, or ask questions about it in chat. The free plan covers files up to 20 minutes; you create a free account to get your transcript so your recordings stay private to you.
