October 24, 2025 I Built a Free Transcription Tool to Scratch My Own Itch

I recently spent 4 hours manually transcribing a 30-minute interview. It was painful, slow, and the result was still full of errors.

I looked for a simple tool to help. Most were too expensive (charging per minute) or the "free" tiers were useless—locked behind mandatory sign-ups, credit card forms, and were highly inaccurate.

It was a classic "scratch your own itch" problem.

So, I decided to build my own solution: https://audioconvert.ai

My goal was to make a tool that I would actually want to use. That meant it had to be:

  1. Genuinely Free: No per-minute fees for simple transcription.

  2. No Friction: No sign-up, no credit card. You land on the page, you use the tool.

  3. Fast & Accurate: Uses modern AI to return a solid transcript in minutes, not hours.

How It Works

It's dead simple:

  1. Drag and drop your audio file (MP3, WAV, M4A, etc.).

  2. Select the language.

  3. Get your transcript. You can download it as .txt or .srt (for subtitles).

Who It's For

I built this for fellow indie hackers, podcasters, content creators, students, journalists—anyone who needs to quickly turn spoken words into text without the hassle.

It's live and free to use now.

I'd love for you to try it out and let me know what you think. All feedback (good or bad) is welcome!

    I love this! Building something useful and giving it away for free is a great way to contribute to the community. How accurate is the AI transcription? What languages does it support?
