Japanese Audio to Text FAQ
Does it add furigana or romaji?
No — you get standard Japanese text. Paste it into a furigana or romaji converter if you need reading aids.
Is it really free without signing up?
Yes. Without an account you can transcribe files up to 10 minutes, 3 files a day. A free account gives you 120 free minutes every month and files up to 30 minutes. After the free minutes, transcription uses 1 credit per 5 minutes of audio, and paid plans allow files up to 60 minutes.
Do you keep my recording or transcript?
No. Your file is converted in your browser and sent in short pieces for transcription; we don't store the audio or the text. Download your transcript before closing the page.
