Transcribe an audio file to a Word document
Transcribe an audio file to a Word document: the file name as the title, one paragraph for every line of speech, the speaker named. DOCX is a Pro feature.
Upload the recording and download a Word file: the file name as the title, then one paragraph for every line of the transcript, with the speaker named in front of it. DOCX is a Pro feature, $10 a month paid yearly.
How to get a Word file from a recording
- 1
Upload the recording
Any of the accepted audio files will do. One file is up to 30 minutes at the most; the free plan gives three files a day, 30 minutes each.
- 2
Fix the words in the app
The editor lets you correct a name or a number and save the change. The corrected text goes into the TXT and Markdown exports; the Word file is built from the segments of the first pass.
- 3
Download the .docx file
The button gives you a real Word file: an Office Open XML document with the file name and one paragraph per line, not a text file with a different extension.
- 4
Hand it over
One paragraph per line keeps the document readable, and the name of the speaker in front of a line keeps a conversation legible.

Why a Word file and not a text file
A Word document is what an editor, a lawyer or a colleague can open and read without learning anything. Ours is a plain .docx: the name of the recording on the first line, then one paragraph for each piece of speech, the speaker in front of it when the split is on. The seconds stay in the other exports — the document carries the words, not the times.
Tips
DOCX is a Pro feature — the free plan stops at five other formats.
One paragraph per line keeps a long document readable.
Take the CSV as well when the times matter.
Rename the file before you upload it: its name becomes the title of the document.
Questions this page answers
Is DOCX included in the free plan?
No. On the free plan you get TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT and CSV. DOCX comes with Pro: $10 a month paid yearly, or $20 a month paid monthly.
What does the document look like inside?
The name of the file on the first line, then one paragraph for every segment of the transcript. A speaker label stands in front of the line when the split is on.
Are the timecodes in the Word file?
No. The document holds the words. Take the CSV or the SRT when you need the start and the end time of every line.
Can I edit the document and send it back?
Yes, the transcript is yours to edit in the app before the export. After that the document is an ordinary Word file you can mark up as you like.
