To transcribe a voice note to text, save the audio file from your phone and upload it to AskSia. iPhone Voice Memos save as M4A, Android voice notes are typically MP3 or M4A, and WhatsApp voice messages are OGG. AskSia processes the audio with AI speech recognition and returns a timestamped transcript in seconds, ready to translate into more than 40 languages and export as TXT, DOCX, or SRT subtitles. The free plan covers voice notes up to 30 minutes, with no software to install and no credit card required.
Voice notes are quick, casual, and full of context that doesn't read well as a scrubbing audio bar. AskSia turns them into text you can scan in seconds, in any language.
