Upload your OGG and turn the speech into editable text. Voice messages and recordings saved as OGG can be uploaded as they are. Listen back to the recording to correct names, specialist terms, and speaker labels before downloading TXT, DOCX, SRT, or VTT.

What kind of OGG can I upload?

Voice messages exported from chat apps and recordings from some recorders arrive as OGG. The file must contain playable audio; the upload area shows the maximum file size for your access level.

If the OGG came from WhatsApp, see how to save and transcribe the voice message before changing the file.

For an interview, conversation, or any recording with several voices, enable speaker separation. Once transcription is complete, check the generated labels and replace them with the correct names.

How to convert OGG to text

1. Choose the OGG and its spoken language

Upload the file and select the language actually used in the recording.

2. Listen and correct the transcript

Open the completed transcript, play passages that need checking, and correct names, technical terms, and unclear words.

3. Download the format for your next step

Choose TXT for plain text or DOCX to keep working in a document editor. Use SRT or VTT when you need speech with time ranges. Saved corrections remain available after a refresh in the same browser; cross-device task history is available only on Pro and Studio.

What do you receive?

  • A transcript divided into editable passages.
  • Time ranges that help you find each passage in the audio.
  • Voice labels that you can check and rename.
  • TXT, DOCX, SRT, and VTT downloads after review.

What should you review before downloading?

Check names, acronyms, numbers, and subject-specific vocabulary. If people talk over each other, listen to the passage again before assigning the words to a speaker or using them as a quotation.

When will the audio need more correction?

Noise, music, low volume, and distance from the microphone can hide words. Listen to important sections and correct the text before sharing or publishing it.

If the file is empty or will not play, use another version of the recording before trying again.

Questions about converting OGG to text

Is the OGG a voice message from a chat app?

Yes, that format is common for voice messages. Save the audio file on your device and upload it like any other recording; the review works the same way.

What can I do if the OGG is over the limit?

The upload area shows your maximum file size. Maximum duration is 10 minutes without an account, 30 minutes on Free, 3 hours on Pro, and 6 hours on Studio. If the file exceeds the displayed limit, trim the section you need in an audio editor or compare the limits of the other plans before trying again.

Daily file limits are 10 without an account and 20 when using the Free allowance. Pro, Studio, and transcriptions using purchased minutes have no daily file-count limit; available minutes and per-file limits still apply.

What happens to the OGG after I upload it?

Once the transcription is complete, the uploaded audio file is deleted about 24 hours later. The transcript remains available for 7 days without an account and on Free, 30 days on Pro, and 90 days on Studio; download the reviewed file to keep your corrections.

If the audio is WAV or MP3

Recordings from editing software are usually WAV, and older files are MP3. The upload and review flow is the same for both formats.
