How it works
Upload your audio or video
Drag the file in or pick it from your device. Nothing to install.
Whisper large-v3 transcribes it
The full server-grade model converts speech to text in seconds — even on a slow phone.
Copy or download the result
Copy the text or download it as .txt. That's it.
The same AI the professionals use
Your audio is transcribed by Whisper large-v3 — OpenAI's most accurate open speech model, the same family used by professional transcription services. It handles accents, background noise and 100+ languages with automatic detection.
It runs on dedicated AI infrastructure that processes speech roughly 200× faster than real time: a 10-minute recording is usually done in a few seconds. Your device does no work, so it's just as fast on an old phone as on a workstation.
Your audio is never stored
Files are processed in memory and deleted immediately after transcription. Nothing is saved, nothing is used for AI training, and we never see your content.
Why is this free?
Most "free" transcription tools hide a trial behind a signup wall. We do the opposite: VoxScriber's paid plans fund a daily community pool of 1,140 minutes that anyone can use — no account, no catch. It's our way of making state-of-the-art speech AI accessible to students, journalists and anyone who just needs an audio turned into text right now.
Each person gets up to 10 minutes per day, so the pool is shared fairly. If you need guaranteed minutes, a free account reserves 30 minutes per month just for you.
The community limit
Every day we release a shared pool of free transcription minutes.
When the 1,140 daily minutes run out, new minutes are released the next day.
Live counter — shared by the whole community. Up to 10 min per person per day.
Which free option is right for you?
VoxScriber offers two genuinely free ways to transcribe — plus a free account. Here's the honest comparison:
| Feature | In your browser | Community (this page) | Free account |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI model | Whisper compact (runs locally) | Whisper large-v3 (full model) | Premium engines |
| Accuracy | Good | Maximum | Maximum |
| Speed | Depends on your device | Seconds, on any device | Seconds |
| Limit | Unlimited | 10 min/day per person | 30 min/month reserved |
| Signup | None | None | Free, under 1 minute |
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to create an account?
+
No. Upload your file and get the text — no signup, no email, no credit card. An optional free account gives you 30 reserved minutes per month plus transcription history.
How many free minutes do I get?
+
Up to 10 minutes per person per day, drawn from a community pool of 1,140 minutes that resets daily. The live bar on this page shows exactly how many minutes are left today.
Which AI model transcribes my audio?
+
Whisper large-v3, OpenAI's most accurate open speech-recognition model, running on dedicated server infrastructure about 200× faster than real time. That's the full model — not the compact version that runs in browsers.
Is my audio stored or used for training?
+
No. Your file is processed in memory and deleted immediately after the text is produced. It is never stored, never shared and never used to train AI models.
Which formats and languages are supported?
+
MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A, AAC, MOV, voice messages and most audio/video formats, up to 60 MB and 10 minutes per file. Whisper supports 100+ languages with automatic language detection.
Why is it free? What's the catch?
+
There is no catch. VoxScriber's paid plans fund the daily community pool. If the tool is useful, some people create an account or upgrade — that keeps the pool free for everyone else.
What happens when the daily minutes run out?
+
The pool resets every day. If today's minutes are gone, come back tomorrow — or create a free account and get 30 minutes per month that are reserved just for you, independent of the community pool.
How is this different from the in-browser free transcriber?
+
The in-browser tool runs a compact Whisper model locally on your device: unlimited and fully private, but speed and accuracy depend on your hardware. This page runs the full Whisper large-v3 on servers: maximum accuracy and seconds-fast on any device, limited to 10 minutes per day.
