Transcribing a File

View as Markdown

Upload or record audio and get back a speaker-labeled transcript. For an overview of Speech to Text, supported formats, and limits, see the Speech to Text overview.

Upload and Transcribe

Speech to Text screen. Header has Feedback and History buttons. The main panel is a dashed-border drop zone with a microphone icon reading Drop audio here, or browse files, with the caption listing supported formats and a 500 MB size limit. Below it, a second option reads or record audio with its own microphone icon. Below that, Try an example offers three colored example chips: Gujarati finance news, Marathi cricket commentary, and Tamil healthcare conversation.

Upload, record, or try a real example clip - three ways to get audio into Speech to Text without friction.
1

Provide Your Audio

Drop a file, click browse files, or click or record audio to capture audio directly in the browser.

  • Video files work directly - you don’t need to extract the audio track yourself first.
  • No file of your own handy? Click one of the Try an example chips to see a full transcription on a real sample clip.

Set the Spoken Language and Speaker Count

Once you’ve provided a file, its name and size are confirmed (e.g. “Demo Video.mp4 · 35.0 MB”), and two dropdowns plus a toggle appear.

Below it, a Language dropdown set to Auto Detect and a Mode dropdown set to Transcribe, alongside a Diarization toggle labeled Detect and label speakers. A black Transcribe button sits below, with an estimated cost of approximately 7.00 credits and an account balance reading 1,00,090 of 1,00,100 remaining.](../../assets/stt 2.png)

Post-upload configuration: Language, Mode, and a Diarization toggle, with a live credit-cost estimate and account balance.
  • Language - leave on Auto Detect, or pick the spoken language explicitly. Getting this right matters more for regional Indian languages and dialects than it might seem - an incorrect setting doesn’t just mistranslate a few words, it can distort the model’s expectations for the entire recording’s phonetics.
  • Mode - defaults to Transcribe.
  • Diarization - toggle this on to detect and label individual speakers in the transcript. For a roundtable or panel recording, accurate diarization is often the single biggest factor in whether the transcript correctly separates who said what.
  • The estimated credit cost (e.g. “~7.00 credits”) and your remaining account balance are both shown live before you commit.

Transcribe

Start transcription and wait for processing to complete.

Reviewing and Exporting

  • Once processing completes, the transcript opens in a slide-over Transcript panel.
  • A playback bar at the bottom shows the source filename, a waveform, and elapsed/total duration.
  • Icons beside the playback bar let you copy, download, or share the transcript.

Need this as a live API integration instead of a one-off upload? The same diarization pipeline is available via the Speech-to-Text API.
