Turn audio recordings into text with Hear2Text. Record a meeting, lecture, interview or voice memo, or import an audio or video file. Read the transcript alongside your recording, edit the wording and share it in the format you need. RECORD OR IMPORT • Record meetings, lectures, interviews and voice memos straight into the app • Import audio and video files from your phone, or paste a supported file link • Follow the transcript as it plays, and tap any line to jump to that moment TRANSCRIBE IN 67 LANGUAGES • Automatic language detection, punctuation and paragraph breaks • Speaker labels, so you can see who said what • Correct any line by hand, and the timing stays in sync ASK AI ABOUT YOUR RECORDING Ask questions about what was actually said and get answers drawn from the transcript itself. Pull out the decisions, the action items, the recurring themes. Get 10 free AI answers per recording, or unlimited answers with Unlimited. TRANSLATE AND EXPORT • Translate a transcript into 24 languages • Export as PDF, Word, TXT, SRT or VTT, including subtitle files • Share a transcript, or keep it in a shared workspace with your team IN YOUR LANGUAGE Hear2Text's own interface is available in 22 languages. FOR MEETINGS, CLASSES AND INTERVIEWS A meeting transcript gives you a written record to revisit after the conversation. Check the wording of a decision, listen again to a discussion or ask about the tasks mentioned. Keep the recording and the transcript together as you review the details. Studying from a lecture? Read through the explanation, then tap the relevant line when you want to hear it again. A transcript can help you work through material at your own pace and compare your notes with what was said in class. For interviews and research, check a quotation against the original audio before using it. Speaker labels help you follow questions and answers, while manual editing lets you correct names or specialist terms. Timestamps stay in place as you make those changes. If you create videos or podcasts, turn spoken material into a written draft you can review before publication. Export subtitles for use in your video workflow, or share a text version with someone reviewing the content. ASK A SPECIFIC QUESTION What deadline was discussed? Which points did the speaker make about a particular topic? Instead of asking about the whole recording, focus your question on the information you need. AI answers use the transcript as their source, and you can return to the audio to check the context. CHOOSE THE RIGHT FILE FORMAT Use PDF for a document you want to read or share, Word when you plan to keep editing, and TXT when you need plain text. SRT and VTT contain subtitle text and timing information for use with compatible video tools. Choose the format that fits your next step rather than retyping the same material. Working with colleagues who speak another language? Translate the transcript, then share the text for them to read. The recording language and the app's interface language do not have to match. BEFORE YOU SHARE Check the names and figures against the recording. If a passage needs clarification, listen to it in context and adjust the wording before sending the document. Use an exported Word file to prepare a report or article. A written transcript is also useful when you cannot play audio: read the conversation first and return to the recording later. HEAR2TEXT UNLIMITED Start for free. Choose a monthly or yearly Unlimited subscription for unlimited transcription and AI answers, speaker labels, translation and all five export formats. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Support: support@heartotext.com Privacy: https://heartotext.com/pages/privacy-policy Terms of use: https://heartotext.com/pages/terms-of-use
