We consistently hit 95%+ accuracy on clear audio. Background noise, heavy accents, or overlapping speakers can bring that down a little, and we'd rather tell you that upfront than promise perfection. If something's off, you can fix it directly in the transcript editor. And if the quality ever truly lets you down, we refund your purchase, no questions asked. See the live monthly benchmark →

No. FileToText is a paid tool, and that's a deliberate choice: we compete on accuracy, not price. You can test the quality free on the first 10 minutes of your first file. After that it's $3 per audio hour (billed per started hour, $3 minimum and $12 maximum per file) or a subscription from $10/month. And if a transcript ever lets you down, we refund the purchase. No questions asked.

Pretty much any audio or video file: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, and more. No conversion needed, just drop it in.

Yes. Drop or select up to 10 files in one batch and each becomes its own transcript. Queue an interview study or a stack of episodes, walk away, and come back to finished transcripts. The free 10 minutes apply to your first file only; the rest of a batch needs a plan or a per-file unlock.

Most files are done in a couple of minutes; the free 10-minute preview is usually ready in about a minute. Long multi-hour recordings take longer, and you can leave the page and get an email when the transcript is ready.

Yes. Every transcript can be exported as SRT or WebVTT subtitle files, ready to drop into a video editor or upload alongside your file. Plain TXT and DOCX exports are also available if you just need the text.

You choose: pay once for a single file ($3 per started audio hour, with a $3 minimum: a 1 hour 2 minute file counts as 2 hours, so $6) or subscribe from $10/month if you transcribe often. On a subscription, minutes count the actual length of each file, to the second: four 15-minute files use 1 hour, not 4. Files over 2 hours cost $9+ as a one-off, at which point the Basic subscription at $10/month for 10 hours is usually the better deal. Either way, the exact price is shown before you pay. Preview the first 10 minutes of your first file for free, and every purchase is backed by a full refund, no questions asked.

No. A subscription counts the actual length of every file, to the second. A 15-minute file uses 15 minutes of your allowance, four 15-minute files use 1 hour, and a 1 hour 2 minute file uses 62 minutes. Rounding to started hours only applies to pay per file. Past your plan's allowance, extra hours are counted on your total overage, not per file, so partial hours add up instead of rounding up each time.

Self-serve, no retention flow: open Account, then Billing, click "Cancel plan", answer one quick question about why (it decides what we fix next, and we never argue with it), and confirm in the Stripe portal that opens. You will not be charged again, your plan and remaining minutes stay active until the end of the period you paid for, and all your transcripts remain in your account.

Yes. The built-in editor lets you correct any word, rename or reassign speakers, and hide filler words before you export. If a transcript looks consistently off, email us and we'll take a look.
