Frequently Asked Questions - Online Audio Transcription

What audio formats are supported?

We support all major audio formats: MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, AAC, WMA, AMR, and more. If your format isn't listed, convert it to MP3 or WAV first.

How accurate is audio transcription?

ForgeFile reaches up to 98% character accuracy on clear recordings with standard speech. Accuracy on low-bitrate files, heavy background noise, or unusual accents is typically 85–95%. Enabling the correct language improves accuracy significantly.

Does it detect and label multiple speakers?

Yes. Speaker diarization automatically identifies unique speakers and labels them (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc.) in the transcript. This works reliably for 2–8 speakers in a single recording.

Can I add timestamps to the transcript?

Yes. Timestamps are added automatically at the paragraph level. You can also enable word-level timestamps for frame-accurate sync with the original audio.

What export formats are available?

Download transcripts as: plain text (TXT), editable Word document (DOCX), SRT subtitle file, or WebVTT (VTT). All formats include speaker labels and timestamps if enabled.

Is my audio data kept private?

Yes. All files are uploaded over an encrypted TLS connection, processed in an isolated environment, and permanently deleted immediately after you download the transcript.
