Why this one works differently from the rest of the site

Every other tool on SantaPDFTools runs entirely in your browser, your files never leave your device. Speech recognition is the one exception: turning audio into accurate text needs a real speech model, which isn't practical to run for free inside a browser tab. So this tool sends your file to our server, which forwards it to the AI provider for transcription, and nothing else. The file isn't stored afterward.

A typical use case

Recording a client call or team meeting and needing searchable notes afterward, or transcribing a lecture so you can study from text instead of scrubbing back through audio to find one point.

Frequently Asked Questions

What file formats are supported?

Common audio formats (MP3, WAV, M4A) and video formats (MP4, WebM) all work, up to 25MB per file.

Is my audio file stored anywhere?

No, it's only held in memory long enough to send to the transcription provider and is discarded right after.

Does it work on languages other than English?

Yes, the underlying speech model handles multiple languages, though accuracy is strongest on clear, well-recorded English audio.

Can I edit the transcript afterward?

Yes, the result appears in an editable text box, copy it or download it as a .txt file to clean up anywhere.
