What FileToText is

FileToText turns uploaded audio and video into transcripts. It accepts formats including MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV and AVI, and supports files up to 20 hours long. You can select up to 10 files in a batch, then review speaker labels, rename or reassign speakers, and follow per-word timestamps alongside synced audio playback. Transcripts can be exported as TXT, DOCX, SRT or WebVTT. Google Drive and Dropbox are listed as input options, and subscriptions include API and MCP access. FileToText says it reaches 95%+ accuracy on clear audio and offers a full refund if a transcript is unsatisfactory. The free preview covers the first 10 minutes of the first file, with no credit card required. Paid plans include Basic at $10 a month for 600 minutes, Pro at $20 a month for 1,800 minutes, and Business at $50 a month for 6,000 minutes. Pay per file costs $3 a month as a one-time payment per file, with a $3 minimum and $12 maximum per file. FileToText is a product of Supreme Ventures B.V. in Amsterdam and is built by the team behind YoutubeToText. You can sign in with Google, Apple or email. You must upload a file; pasting a YouTube page link is not supported.
