Audio to Text: Transcribe Your Recordings
Upload an audio or video file from your device and get a transcript plus subtitles. 1p per minute.
In plain words: Drop a recording (voice note, interview, meeting, lecture or your own video) and get it typed out, with timestamps and a subtitle (.srt) file. 1p per minute, and the first 3 minutes are free. It works with files on your device, not YouTube or TikTok links.

How to Use Audio to Text: Transcribe Your Recordings
- Drop an audio or video file: MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV and more (up to 95 MB, 3 hours).
- Choose the language (or auto-detect) and whether to translate to English.
- Press Run, then copy the text or download it as .txt or as .srt subtitles.
Transcripts for a penny a minute
Transcription services often charge ยฃ1 a minute or lock you into a monthly plan. WeShoal runs OpenAI Whisper large-v3, the most widely used open speech-recognition model, and charges 1p per minute (minimum 3p). A one-hour interview costs 60p.
Great for
- Interviews, podcasts, lectures and meeting recordings.
- Subtitles for YouTube, TikTok or Reels (download the .srt file).
- Voice notes and screen recordings. Record with our free screen recorder, then transcribe here.
You're charged for the real length of the audio, worked out from the result.
How the pricing works (no subscription)
These tools run on powerful cloud GPUs through Replicate, which charges per use. Instead of a monthly subscription, WeShoal uses pay-as-you-go credit. Add ยฃ3 or more once by Apple Pay, Google Pay or card. There's no account and no registration. Stripe, our payment processor, asks for an email only to send your payment receipt, and we never use it for marketing. Your first go on each AI tool is free, with no payment and no email. Each run costs a small fixed amount shown on the button before you start. The price covers the GPU cost plus a small margin that keeps the free tools free.
- You're only charged if it works. If a run fails, the credit goes straight back.
- Your credit lives in this browser. You also get a recovery code so you can use it on another device or after clearing your browser.
- Privacy: your file is uploaded only to run the AI. Temporary copies are deleted automatically within about a day, and results are kept for about an hour.
