How It Works

Converting audio to text should be quick. Focera keeps the whole transcription flow on one page — upload a recording, choose a language, transcribe, edit, and export without an account or desktop installer.

  1. Upload your audio. Drag and drop an MP3, WAV, M4A, WebM, OGG, AAC, or FLAC file up to 24 MB and 10 minutes, or click the zone to browse from your device.
  2. Choose language and output. Use Auto detect or English for faster results, then pick plain text or timestamped lines.
  3. Transcribe, edit, and export. Review the result, fix any wording, then copy, download TXT, or download SRT.

Jump back to the audio to text tool anytime to convert another recording.
