Free Audio to Text
Turn audio into text in seconds. The Whisper AI runs entirely in your browser, so your audio never uploads to a server: private by design, and free to start. It detects the language automatically and gives you copyable text plus .srt captions.
Drop an audio file, or
mp3, m4a, wav, ogg, or webm. Runs entirely in your browser, nothing is uploaded. The language is detected automatically.
How pricing works
Your first 3 transcriptions are free. After that, a transcription costs half a credit from your normal StencilCut credits, so 1 credit = 2 transcriptions and your credits go twice as far as they do on an AI design. Purchased credits never expire; monthly subscription credits refresh each month.
Your audio never leaves your device
Most transcription tools upload your audio to their servers. This one does the opposite: the speech model downloads to your browser once, your device does the work, and the transcript never existed anywhere but your machine. That is why it can be private and free to start.
How it works
Drop an mp3, m4a, wav, ogg, or webm file, or record from your mic. It stays on your device.
Whisper downloads once, is cached, detects the language, and transcribes on your device.
Copy the text, save a .txt, get .srt captions, or send it to Text-to-SVG to engrave.
Frequently asked questions
Is my audio uploaded anywhere?
No. The speech-recognition AI (Whisper) runs inside your browser on your own device. Your audio never touches a server, which is why it is private, works offline once loaded, and costs nothing to run.
Why does the first transcription take longer?
On first use your browser downloads the speech model (about 75MB) and caches it. Every transcription after that starts instantly, even offline, because the model is already on your device.
What languages does it support?
The model is multilingual and detects the spoken language automatically, so you do not need to pick one. It handles dozens of languages.
What files can I use, and can I get captions?
Upload mp3, m4a, wav, ogg, or webm, or record straight from your microphone. You get the plain text to copy or download as a .txt, plus a timestamped .srt caption file for videos.

Can I turn the transcript into an engraving?
Yes. One button sends the text to the free Text-to-SVG tool, where you can turn a word or phrase into laser-ready vector lettering to cut or engrave.
