Questions
Can I convert an MP3 to text?
Yes. Upload the MP3 and Audicite returns a transcript with speakers and timestamps, which you can export as Word, PDF, text or captions.
How long does it take?
Usually a small fraction of the recording’s length: on the benchmark, files were transcribed about 30 times faster than real time.
Is my audio kept private?
Audio is encrypted in transit and at rest, and the speech provider is told not to use it to improve its models. You can delete a recording at any time.
