What Does Audio Transcriber Do?

Audio Transcriber processes WAV, MP3, AIFF, AAC, OGG, FLAC, and other common formats, then delivers:

• ✨ Clean transcripts with punctuation, speaker-aware timing, and helpful timestamps
• 🔗 Metadata that keeps every transcript tied to its original audio reference
• 🧠 Language sensitivity guided by your ISO 639-1 hint (en, es, fr, etc.) for better terminology capture
• 📦 Business-ready datasets that plug straight into Excel, Power BI, or your automation stack

Business Value: Eliminate manual listening, stay audit-ready, surface multilingual insights, and keep transcripts synchronized with source assets so everyone can collaborate faster.

Input

Fill in the form with your sources:

• audioFileUrl – Upload one or more files (MP3, WAV, AIFF, AAC, OGG, FLAC). Files are processed in the order you provide them, so bundle all assets for one consolidated dataset.
• language – Provide the ISO 639-1 code such as en, es, or pt to guide the transcription model toward the right pronunciation and terms.

Here is the JSON version of the prefill sample:

{
    "audioFileUrl": [
        "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Mia_Love_speaks_in_opposition_to_the_Joint_Comprehensive_Plan_of_Action.ogg"
    ],
    "language": "en"
}

Pro Tip: Upload multiple files in one run so you receive a single dataset containing every transcript and its source reference.

Output

Each run generates a dataset entry with the audio reference, the transcription text, and the timestamp when it was captured. Download your results as CSV, Excel, JSON, HTML, or push them directly into BI tools.

    "audioReference": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Mia_Love_speaks_in_opposition_to_the_Joint_Comprehensive_Plan_of_Action.ogg",
    "transcription": "When it comes to this deal with Iran, I want to express how incredibly serious this is. That is because the stakes have never been higher. Are we willing to continue to gamble with America's future and American lives? Iran is a snake in the grass. Its leaders have made it very clear that they want to implement Sharia law, not freedom. Iran does not value human life the way we do. They've actually shown that they're willing to support terrorists that have shown that they were willing to hurt their own women and children. On the other hand, we have a president of the United States of America that said he will veto any efforts to stop this bad deal. That shows he has no interest in listening to the American people. How can we claim we're fighting terror when we're giving the leading state sponsors of terrorism a break to the tune of billions of dollars? At this rate we will all but build the nuclear weapons for them in 15 years. Now that a deal with Iran is in place, here's what's most concerning. They'll turn around and build a nuclear weapon anyway, funded by the profits made from the lack of sanctions. This is not a joke. Iran has a history of non-compliance. A great indicator of what's going to happen in the future is what has happened in the past. So how do we know they'll never change? How do we know they will change? We don't. Chances are, they won't change. Ronald Reagan was an advocate of peace through strength. He said that the world would experience peace when the United States was a beacon of strength. I ask you all to stand strong with the United States against Iran and against any administration that would like to silence us, the American people.",
