Audio to Word Converter

A Word document you can edit

The output is .docx, the modern Word format, rather than the older binary .doc format. Spoken paragraphs and timestamps become editable content. If you add headings, lists or tables to a local Markdown document in Reader, the DOCX exporter preserves those supported structures as Word elements rather than a screenshot of the text.

Use it for review and handoff

An interview transcript can become an editing draft; a lecture transcript can become study notes. Start by checking proper nouns, figures and any unclear passages against the original audio. Automatic transcription does not certify quotations, produce legal transcripts or guarantee speaker labels. Word formatting helps collaboration, but it does not improve the accuracy of speech recognition.

One transcription, several useful files

Upload MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, OPUS or WMA and confirm the measured estimate. Choose Word before converting, or download DOCX later from Reader. The same result remains available as TXT and Markdown during its retention window. Repeated exports use the saved result and do not trigger a new transcription or a second Credit settlement.

File limits and account allowance

Free: 25 MB per file. Starter and Pro: 50 MB per file. Maximum 60 minutes per file under the currently active limits. Sizes use binary units: 1 MB = 1,048,576 bytes. Sign in for the Free allowance; a guest preview is not the same as a Free account.

Free includes 25 Credits per month. Starter is $3.99 per month with 200 Credits, and Pro is $7.99 per month with 500 Credits. Paid plans do not remove file validation or the need for a sufficient balance. See pricing and Credits for the current catalog.

Estimate, processing and downloads

Media costs 0.5 Credit per measured minute, with a 0.3 Credit minimum. A 10-minute recording needs 5 Credits; 60 minutes needs 30 Credits. Free includes 25 monthly Credits, about 50 minutes before other use. A maximum-size allowance does not grant extra Credits.

Upload time depends on the connection and source size. Processing also depends on duration, page complexity and queue load; the estimate and task progress are indicative, not a fixed completion promise. Large uploads can resume missing parts. Failed processing releases reserved Credits; a successful task settles once.

Reader displays the same canonical result for TXT, Word and Markdown. Switching exports does not start another conversion. DOCX supports editable headings, lists, tables, links and supported result-owned images. TXT keeps readable text and table cells. The Word exporter accepts up to 1 MB of canonical Markdown, 2,000 content blocks, 512 table cells and 32 images, with 2 MB per image and 8 MB of image data; use the Markdown image bundle for larger documents.

Retention and review

Free results are retained for 1 hour, Starter for 7 days and Pro for 30 days after completion. The task shows the exact expiry. Download before it expires, or delete it early from History. Temporary sources are removed after processing or expiry; a guest-preview original can remain available until its preview session expires. Review uncertain words, table order and important figures before reuse. Read the privacy policy for processing details.
