How to transcribe a WMA
Upload the WMA, get the text back in the language that was spoken — and in as many more as you need, with the timings.
WMA is Windows Media Audio, from old recorders and archives of material recorded on Windows years ago.
From a WMA to text, step by step
- 1
Upload the file
Drag the WMA in. Nothing to convert first and nothing to install — the format is taken as it is.
- 2
We measure the speech
Before anything runs we measure how much of it is actually speech, and that is the price you see. A two-hour recording with forty minutes of talking costs forty minutes.
- 3
It is transcribed
Word by word, with the timings, in the language it was spoken in. Turn on speaker separation and each line says who said it.
- 4
You get it back
Text, subtitles, or both. If you asked for other languages, they come out of that same listen and not from listening again.
What you get
- The transcript in the language spoken, with timings.
- SRT and VTT, ready to drop on a video.
- Any of the fourteen languages, out of that same audio.
- Who said what, if you asked for it.
What it costs
3 € per hour of speech
Transcription only. With translation it is 6 € per hour of speech. Speech, not file length: silence is not billed, so an hour of recording with twenty minutes of talking pays twenty minutes.
Up to 60 minutes and 200 MB per recording, three jobs running at a time. Longer than that, split it — or write to us and we will look at the case.
Questions people ask
- Do I have to convert the WMA first?
- No. That is the point of this page: the WMA goes in as it is. Converting it yourself would only lose quality on the way.
- What if the WMA is a video?
- Only the audio track is used. The picture is not looked at, not stored and not needed — you can upload the video as it came out of the camera.
- How good does the recording have to be?
- Good enough that a person listening would understand it. Room noise and a distant microphone cost accuracy in the transcript, and that mistake then travels into every language, which is why the recording matters more than anything else here.
