file upload transcription
Audio to Text Converter
Upload audio or video files and convert them into transcripts. Large signed-in uploads continue processing in the background even if you close the page, then you can return later to access transcripts, exports, and transcript actions.
Your transcript becomes more useful
SHRP is not only audio to text. It is a workflow: upload a recording, leave while it processes, return to the transcript, then turn that transcript into reusable content.
// upload test
Upload one file before signing up
Upload one audio or video file and see how transcription works.
Drag & drop or choose an audio/video file

// upload audio/video to text
This page is for recorded files. If you want live microphone dictation, use the speech-to-text page instead.
upload the recording
Start from an audio or video file: a meeting recording, interview, lecture, podcast episode, voice memo, or webinar export.
leave while it processes
Signed-in uploads can keep processing in the background, so you do not have to babysit long recordings.
come back to the transcript
Return to dashboard history when the transcript is ready, then review, copy, export, or continue from the saved file.
turn it into useful outputs
Create summaries, key takeaways, study notes, blog drafts, LinkedIn posts, X threads, or custom outputs from the transcript.
save and reopen later
Signed-in users can reopen file transcripts and generated outputs from history and dashboard.
// common audio-to-text use cases
meetings
Never rewatch a 90-minute recording again. Convert calls into searchable transcripts, summaries, and action items.
interviews
Find quotes, themes, and follow-ups faster from research, hiring, journalism, or customer interviews.
lectures
Turn class recordings, seminars, and study sessions into searchable text and study material.
podcasts
Turn podcast episodes into transcripts, show notes, content drafts, and accessibility material.
voice notes
Turn recorded thoughts, phone memos, and quick ideas into clean notes you can reuse later.
// what happens after transcription
Stop at text or keep going
Copy the transcript, export it, or keep working with summaries, notes, drafts, and custom actions.
Never rewatch long recordings
Use the transcript to search, skim, and extract the parts that matter from meetings, lectures, and interviews.
Publish from the transcript
Turn one recording into a blog draft, LinkedIn post, X thread, show notes, or study material.
Return later and continue
Signed-in users can reopen transcripts and generated outputs from history instead of starting from scratch.
// privacy and uploaded files
Audio/video upload transcription requires processing the file to create a transcript. SHRP keeps the workflow clear: live microphone mode stays in your browser, while uploaded files are processed for transcription and can be saved to your signed-in history. Do not upload recordings unless you have the right to process them.

What is an audio to text converter?
An audio to text converter turns recorded speech from an audio or video file into a readable transcript. With SHRP, you can upload a file, generate an audio transcription, export the text, and then use transcript actions for summaries, notes, drafts, or follow-ups.
Can I convert MP3 to text?
Yes. SHRP supports MP3 uploads, along with common audio and video formats such as WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, WebM, MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, and MKV.
Can I transcribe audio files for free?
Yes. Logged-out visitors can try one audio or video file before signing up, up to 5 minutes and 25 MB. You can view, copy, and download the TXT transcript. More uploads, saved history, subtitle exports, and transcript actions require an account.
Which audio and video formats are supported?
SHRP accepts common audio and video uploads including MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, WebM, MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, and MKV. File size and transcription minutes depend on your plan.
Is my audio private?
Uploaded files are processed for transcription and can be saved to your account history if you are signed in. Live browser speech-to-text is different: microphone audio stays in your browser and is not uploaded to SHRP.
