Audio to Text (Recognition) - Transcribe Audio Files

"Audio to text (recognition)" is an Android app designed to convert human speech from audio files into text. It supports multiple audio formats, allows for short and long recordings, and features support for 120 languages. The app utilizes Google's cloud Speech-to-Text service for accurate transcriptions. Users can save, edit, and share recognized text. Ideal for high-quality voice recordings, it is not a recording tool and isn't suited for songs or noisy environments.

App summary

The application Audio file to text is designed to recognize sound files with human speech to text (speech to text). The application is not yet intended for recording speech (use other applications for this, for example, a standard voice recorder).

We do not recommend to use for recognition of words from songs, videos and any other recordings that contain extraneous noise (except for the voice of the speaker), in this case recognition will most likely be unsatisfactory.

We recommend to use it to recognize voice recordings made with high sound quality when the speaker is as close as possible to the recording device and without extraneous noise.

Application Features:
- Recognition of short audio recordings (up to 1 minute long)
- Recognition of long audio recordings (longer than 1 minute)
- It supports recognition from most audio formats - MP3, OGG (opus Codec), AAC, MPEG, AMR, WAV, M4A, FLAC and others. But we recommend using .FLAC
- Recognition support from 120 languages
- “Auto Punctuation” is available for some languages.
- Recognized text is saved in the application.
- The ability to “Share” text with any available phone methods
- Ability to manually edit text
- Ability to export to text formats (for Android <10 version)
- Recognition of audio files after “Share” from other applications (For example, Whats App - voice messages. And applications for viewing files).

How it works:
1) You select a person’s audio file
2) Choose a recognition language and additional settings (if any for the selected language)
3) Press the “Start” button
4) The audio file is downloaded to the server and its format is converted to FLAC
5) After conversion, a request is made to Speech-To-Text and the server returns recognition results

Speech recognition uses Google’s cloud solution - Speech to text, which requires payment for recognition of a unit of time, therefore the application is not free and for each recognition we are forced to charge users. Please treat this with understanding.

Every hour of use will cost over four dollars! What in the actual heck!?!? That's ridiculous. Didn't even try it. Four dollars an hour is a guaranteed way for this app to fail. Extremely disappointing.

Finally!!! It worked! I figure out because i am FULL DEAF, cannot hear these voicemail message! I figure out how to click my voicemail by 'share' forward to "Audio to text". i test to click 'start' right there. I wait for geen bar signal show done message. It help me feel better for these look like voicemail's closed captioned as subtitles like text read for me. That make me so very happy! It ALL WORKED!!! Thank you!! (Sigh..)Thank you so very much. I needed that for part Voicemail. Thank you!
