About MP3toText

Convert MP3 to text for free with fast, accurate AI transcription. Get searchable transcripts, timestamps, speaker labels, summaries, and exports in minutes. Our MP3 to text converter turns them into searchable, editable text you can quote, share, and build on with mp3totext.io. Podcast hosts and producers put a lot of work into each episode, but the recording is only the starting point. Pulling a quote or revisiting a topic should not require listening through the whole show again.

About Trace

A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
