Choose the source path that matches your recording

Compressed speech from podcasts, voice notes, and shared recordings belongs on the MP3 to text guide, while clean studio audio and research recordings are better covered by WAV to text or FLAC to text.

If the media is already hosted somewhere, use Google Drive to text for shared Drive files or SoundCloud to text for public tracks.

Video workflows usually need export decisions after transcription. Start with MP4 to text or MOV to text, then decide whether the result should become SRT subtitles, VTT captions, or an editable DOCX transcript.

Choose the export format that matches what comes next

Once your file is transcribed, the next step depends on how you will use it. If you need captions, compare SRT vs VTT; if a team needs to edit the text, use the DOCX export guide; if you only need lightweight text for search or automation, choose TXT export.
