In short
Send the audio file of the Skype call and the text comes back, every line marked with the time it starts and ends, the two voices separated on request. A file may be up to 30 minutes; the free plan is $0 with 3 files a day.
How to get the text of a Skype call
- 1
Keep the recorded audio
A recorded Skype call leaves you a file. Find it, rename it after the call, and leave the original alone: a file that is edited before the upload is a file that cannot be checked.
- 2
Upload it with the right language
Drop the file on the widget above. Choose 99+ languages yourself, or leave the detection on for a call that mixes both. One file is up to 30 minutes on the free plan.
- 3
Separate the two voices
Switch on the split by speaker, so the two sides of the call do not end up in one column. Every line then carries its own start and end time, and the text goes out as TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT, CSV or DOCX.

Subtitles for video editors and platforms
- VTT

What a call transcript of a Skype call holds

The case
A call in 99+ languages
A Skype call is often a call between 99+ languages. The recording language is detected automatically. Nothing in that file says who said what and when. The transcript is where the order, the pauses and the names of the speakers appear, and it takes one upload.
Tips
Rename the file after the other party.
Keep a mixed-language call in the original format.
Split the speakers as soon as you upload.
Ask for the recording if nobody saved it.
Questions this page answers
What happens to a call in 99+ languages?
A Russian or mixed file is processed by our own engine on infrastructure outside the United States, and the audio is never used to train models for other customers. A pure English file may go to a third-party cloud speech provider when that fallback is on.
Does this service record the call?
No. This service has no account inside Skype and no right to record anything. It reads a file that you already have, after you upload it yourself.
Can both sides of the call be named?
Yes. Turn on the split by speaker and the transcript names the speakers, which is the difference between a call you can read and a paragraph without a voice.
How long may one call be?
30 minutes per file on the free plan, no minute limit. A longer call has to be cut into parts before the upload; the service does not split files for you, and every part keeps its own timecodes.
