Voice to text free, no account

By ShinobiTools Team · Last updated: July 2026

Talk to text in seconds: turn a voice recording into text for free — a phone voice memo, a voice dictation, a recorded call.

Drop the file in and read it back as text — no account, no watermark, nothing counted per minute. Think of it as a voice message to text converter for anything you've already recorded, not a live dictation tool.

No account. 10 recordings a day. Files up to 60 minutes here, and it resets at midnight.

Straight from your phone's voice memo

A voice memo is quick to record and painful to use again: you can't search it, skim it, or drop a line from it into a chat. Turning it into text fixes that — you get a transcript you can scan in seconds, copy into notes, or search for the one thing someone said. Works the same for a two-minute reminder to yourself as for a twenty-minute memo a colleague left you.

Works from any phone, platform or format

A voice memo from an iPhone (M4A) or Android (M4A or MP3) goes in as it is, and so do WAV, FLAC, OGG, AAC and the common video files: no converting first. A WhatsApp voice note uploads like any other recording: save the file, then drop it in. It all runs in a browser tab, so voice to text Windows, Mac, Android or iPhone needs no app, and the transcription runs on our GPU, not your device. Clear speech recorded close to the mic gives the most natural result.

Free, AI-powered, no account

The AI is our own speech model on our own GPU, and so a 10-a-day cap replaces a per-minute charge: voice to text AI free of any account and card. Unlike a free converter that stops after a few minutes, this voice to text converter takes files up to 60 minutes, and the TXT, SRT and VTT downloads are included. Turning a voice note to text is one upload, whether it's a two-minute reminder or a twenty-minute memo, and when several people talk, speaker labels show who said each line. It isn't live dictation: talk text into your phone's recorder first, then upload the audio file and read it back a few minutes later. This talk to text website needs no download and no account.

Around 100 languages — Dutch, Bangla, Bengali, Indonesian, Hindi, Farsi

The model picks up the spoken language on its own, so a Dutch recording comes back in Dutch, with no setting to change. Bangla (Bengali), Bahasa Indonesia, Hindi and Farsi work the same way, free like everything else.

Docs, Word, spreadsheets, and other everyday uses

The result is plain text, so it pastes into Google Docs, Word, a spreadsheet or an email without reformatting, and a dictated diary entry works the same as any other voice memo. This isn't an editor with playback and a timeline; it's a straight transcript, and the SRT gives you the timestamps if you need to jump to a moment.

How to turn voice into text

  1. Open ScribeGrab and click Open the tool.
  2. Drop in your voice recording (up to 60 minutes / 1.5 GB).
  3. Let it transcribe on our GPU.
  4. Copy the text, or download TXT, SRT or VTT.

Dictation, notes and calls

For a dictated note the plain text is usually all you need. For a recorded call or meeting the timings help: SRT and VTT give every line a start and end time, and speaker labels mark who was talking. Recording a meeting? There's a dedicated page for meeting minutes from audio.

Long recordings work the same way as short ones; there's no per-minute charge, and you get 10 recordings a day.

AI voice recognition, explained simply

Under the hood this is ai voice recognition: a speech model listens to the audio and writes down what it hears, the same category of technology as the ai voice to text features built into phones and call centres. What's different here is the shape of it — you upload a finished recording rather than talking live, so it works for a voice memo you made yesterday, not just words spoken right now.

AI voice transcription is what this page does: turn spoken audio into text you can read, search and copy. As an AI voice transcriber it keeps every word, unlike a summary: you get the full transcript, not a shortened version. To transcribe voice recording to text you need no account and pay nothing per minute. Coming from Evernote's own voice-memo transcription? Same idea, just without the note-taking app wrapped around it.

Not a text-to-speech generator

This page runs the direction voice → text. Going the other way — typing a script and getting a spoken voice back, in a male or female voice, cloned, singing, or read by a named voice — is a different tool: text to speech covers that instead.

Your recording doesn't stay here

The file is deleted as soon as the transcript is finished, and the results are wiped within 45 minutes (24 hours with any pass, free or paid). No account means there's nothing to log in to and nothing kept under your name. See privacy for exactly what is and isn't stored.

Common questions

Is voice to text free?

Yes: you can convert voice to text online free, 10 recordings a day, with no per-minute charge, no watermark and no sign-up. Files go up to 60 minutes and 1.5 GB. It's free voice to text online and free AI voice to text, and voice to text transcription free of any per-minute charge gives you a free transcript every time. As a voice to text converter online free of any account, it takes any voice file. There's no subscription to cancel either; the optional pass is a one-time purchase, not an auto-renewing plan.

Can I upload a voice memo from my phone?

Yes. iPhone and Android voice memos (M4A or MP3 and more) upload directly, with no converting needed, and iPhone voice text comes out the same as Android's. That's how to turn voice memos into text after the fact, whether they came from Voice Memos, a call recording or a voice message you saved.

How to use voice to text here?

Open the tool, drop in your recording and download the transcript a few minutes later, with no account and nothing to install. If you're wondering how to voice to text a recording you already have, or how to use talk to text without live dictation, that's it. Voice to text iPhone or Android works the same, and how to do voice to text on iPhone is no different: the browser is enough, because the transcription runs on our GPU, not your device. A voice to text MP3 upload works like any other format.

Does it handle more than one speaker?

Yes. Each voice speaker gets a label for two to eight voices, so you can see who said what, and you can give each speaker a real name with a pass.

Is my recording stored?

No. It's deleted right after the transcript is made and results are wiped within 45 minutes (24 hours with any pass, free or paid).

Is this voice typing, like a live voice typer?

No. Voice typing types live while you talk; this works the other way round: you already have a recording, and it turns that into text. For live voice dictation, use your phone's or Word's own dictation button; to transcribe voice recording to text afterwards, use this page.

How to turn on voice to text on iPhone, or fix it when it's not working?

That's Apple's own dictation: Settings → General → Keyboard → Enable Dictation, and it needs a data connection even though it looks local. If iPhone voice to text not working is the problem (voice to text not working iPhone users report is usually that toggle), record a voice memo as usual and upload the file here instead; an upload doesn't depend on the keyboard setting.

How to send voice text message replies?

How to send a voice text is a Messages feature on your phone: voice to text messages iPhone users dictate, and voice texts on iPhone, stay inside the Messages app. This page runs the other way: turn a voice message you already received into a voice message text file you can read.

Does MS Word voice to text work the same as this page?

No. MS Word voice to text is Word's own live dictation button, and Windows voice to text is the system's own dictation. This page transcribes a recording you already have, on Windows, Mac or a phone; paste the text into Word afterwards, and voice to text Microsoft Word workflows stay as they were. A voice to text Word or voice to text Google Docs habit works the same: paste the plain text in.

How can I convert voice to text without software or a Chrome extension?

Here's how to convert without either: there's no voice to text software to install, no voice to text Chrome extension and no desktop program: it works in the browser, so upload the voice memo and download the text without installing anything.

Is there an API for voice recognition here?

No. ScribeGrab is a browser tool, not a developer API: upload a file on the page and download the text.

How does this compare to Evernote, Dragon or CapCut?

Evernote's voice to text lives inside its note-taking app and account. Dragon is desktop dictation software you install and often pay for. CapCut's auto-captions run inside its video editor. This page transcribes any recording into plain text and SRT/VTT you can use anywhere, CapCut included, with no account.

What about ElevenLabs text to voice?

That's the reverse job, words into spoken audio, and ElevenLabs' specialty. Our own text to speech tool covers that direction; ElevenLabs' transcription needs an account and is charged past a free allowance.

Do I get a text file after uploading?

Yes: a TXT file plus SRT and VTT subtitles, searchable and ready to copy. The TXT has one sentence per line with punctuation added, in whichever of around 100 languages the voice speech was in.
