How It Works
Upload any audio or video file to a FileGrab link. Click the Transcribe button. Within minutes, you have a full text transcript you can search, copy, or download alongside your original file.
The transcript appears in an inline panel next to the audio player or below the video, so you can read along as you listen.
Supported Formats
FileGrab transcribes any audio or video format it can play, including:
- Audio: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, WMA
- Video: MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM, WMV
For video files, the audio track is extracted automatically before transcription. You don't need to convert anything.
Choose Your Language
FileGrab supports transcription in multiple languages. Select the language before transcribing to get the most accurate results. The AI model handles accents, background noise, and multiple speakers.

Privacy and Credits
Transcription is a Pro feature. Each transcription uses AI credits from your account. Audio is processed by our transcription service and the text result is stored with your file.
Transcription is not available on end-to-end encrypted files, since our servers cannot access encrypted content.
