MP3 to text questions

How do I convert MP3 to text?

Continue to the workspace, choose an MP3, set the language or use automatic detection, and start transcription.

Does MP3 quality affect the transcript?

Yes. Clear speech and less background noise usually help. Review names, numbers, and specialist terms before publishing.

Can Whisper identify speakers in an MP3?

Whisper transcribes speech but does not assign speaker labels. That requires a separate diarization model.

Can I create subtitles from an MP3?

Yes. Download timestamped segments as SRT or VTT captions.
