Paste any audio or video URL and get an accurate transcription — completely free, no ads, no sign-up required. Automatically detects the language and returns the transcript as spoken. Powered by Whisper AI. Works with YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and any URL containing a public audio or video.
Turnscribe transcribes any public video or audio URL, plus local file uploads. If it has speech, our Whisper AI-powered engine can turn it into accurate, searchable text — no matter where it comes from.
Prefer to upload instead? Turnscribe also accepts local audio files (MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, AAC, WMA, OPUS) and video files (MP4, MKV, WEBM, AVI, MOV and more), so you can transcribe recordings that were never posted online — meeting recordings, voice memos, lecture captures, and more.
Three simple steps powered by OpenAI Whisper, one of the most accurate open-source speech recognition models available, capable of understanding 90+ languages with near-human accuracy.
Drop a link from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or any public video/audio URL — or upload a local file. We download and, if needed, split long audio into chunks so it processes reliably.
Our engine analyzes the audio and identifies the spoken language automatically — no manual selection or configuration. Longer files are transcribed in parallel so it's fast even for long recordings.
The transcription is returned exactly as spoken, in its original language, and saved to your dashboard — ready to copy, search, or edit and export on Basic or Pro.
