How it works
From recording to transcript in three steps
No setup, no software. Upload, transcribe, and walk away with text you can use anywhere.
We transcribe it
Our speech-recognition engine converts speech to text with timestamps, handling accents, multiple speakers and mixed Hindi-English speech.
Edit & export
Fix any line in the browser, then copy the text or download SRT/VTT subtitles. Your file is deleted right after.
Features
Everything you need to turn speech into text
Built for creators, students, journalists and teams who need reliable transcripts fast.
Audio & video
Transcribe MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC and OGG, or pull speech straight out of MP4, MOV, WEBM and MKV video.
Timestamps & subtitles
Every transcript is timestamped. Export ready-to-use SRT or VTT subtitle files for YouTube, Premiere and more.
99 languages
Auto-detect or pick a language. Hindi, English, Spanish and more — mixed Hinglish audio transcribes cleanly too. See all 99 languages →
Edit before export
Correct names, terms or punctuation line by line. Your edits flow into the downloaded text and subtitle files.
Private by default
Your upload is sent securely to our speech-recognition partner, then deleted from Tooljin and removed from the partner's systems as soon as your transcript is ready. We never sell your files.
Built for long recordings
Files up to 3 hours are transcribed in one pass with timestamps on every line, and Hindi numbers are tidied up automatically — 23 दशमलव 69 becomes 23.69.
Supported formats
Bring almost any recording
If it has speech, it can become text. Video files have their audio extracted automatically.

Which languages are supported?

What audio and video formats can I transcribe?
Audio: MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC and OGG. Video: MP4, MOV, WEBM and MKV. The audio track is extracted automatically from video files.
Are my files stored?
No. Your file is sent securely to our speech-recognition partner for transcription. As soon as your transcript is ready, it is deleted from Tooljin's storage and removed from the partner's systems. Tooljin does not keep your audio or video.
Can I get timestamps and subtitles?
Yes. Every transcript includes timestamps, and you can export industry-standard SRT or VTT subtitle files (Pro).
How accurate is the transcription?
Tooljin uses a production-grade speech-recognition model that handles accents, multiple speakers, long recordings and mixed Hindi-English speech. Loud background music can lower accuracy, so clean voice audio gives the best results, and you can fix any word in the editor before downloading.
Can I edit the transcript before downloading?
Yes. The transcript is editable line by line in the browser, and your edits flow through to the exported text and subtitle files.
Ready to transcribe?
