Audiotype is a web-based transcription service built for people who deal with spoken-word media: journalists transcribing interviews, students converting lectures, podcasters producing show notes, and teams documenting meetings and calls. You upload an audio or video file, and the AI produces a timestamped transcript in minutes rather than hours.
The service accepts virtually any common media format, covering MP3, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, OGG, AAC, M4A and WMA on the audio side, plus MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, MKV, MPEG, VOB and 3GP for video. Transcription runs in over 30 languages with reported accuracy between roughly 80% and 95%, and the output includes speaker detection, smart punctuation and timestamps. Results can be edited in the browser and exported to TXT, DOCX or PDF, or converted into SRT and VTT subtitle files.
One distinguishing detail is that Audiotype does not require you to create an account before transcribing, which lowers friction for occasional users. It also positions privacy as a differentiator versus free online converters, stating that transcripts are not sold or shared and that payments are processed by Stripe without the company storing card data. A free preview lets you judge quality before paying, and a business-oriented offering exists for organisations with recurring transcription needs.
