Why MP3 is great for transcription
MP3 is the most widely used audio format, and it is ideal for transcription: files are small, so they upload quickly, and a bitrate of 64 kbps or more keeps speech perfectly clear.
Podcast episodes, lecture recordings, audiobooks, recorded calls and downloads from voice recorders are usually MP3. If you export audio from an editor for a transcript, MP3 at 128 kbps mono is a good choice.
Upload the MP3 on this page and press Transcribe. When it is done, copy the text or download it as a TXT file.
