Upload an audio file

1. Open Record in the sidebar.
2. Click Upload audio file and pick the file - or drop it onto the recording card.
3. A progress bar shows the upload. Once it’s done, the file is transcribed like a recording.

The tags, language and polish options you set on the page apply to the upload too.

Which files work

MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, WebM and FLAC. Voice memos from iPhone (M4A) and Android work as they are.

Size and length

The file can be as long as your plan’s longest recording - see Recording length and monthly minutes. Its size limit follows from that length, so ordinary compressed audio always fits. WAV and FLAC files are uncompressed and much bigger: if one is “too large”, convert it to MP3 or M4A first.

Which plans include it

Uploading audio files is included in the paid plans. On Free, the button links to the plans; recording in the app works on every plan. See Pricing for what each plan includes.

If the upload fails

If the upload breaks off - say, your connection drops - the file stays on the page with Upload again. If it keeps failing, try a smaller file (MP3 instead of WAV) or a steadier connection.
