Frequently Asked Questions - Online MP3 Transcription

What is the maximum MP3 file size?

We support MP3 files up to 500 MB. For longer recordings, consider splitting the file into segments - or contact us for enterprise batch options.

How accurate is MP3 transcription?

Accuracy reaches up to 98% for clear MP3 recordings at standard bitrates (128 kbps and above). Low-bitrate recordings (below 64 kbps), heavy background noise, or unusual accents may reduce accuracy to 85–95%.

Can you identify different speakers in an MP3 file?

Yes. Speaker diarization detects and labels each unique voice (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc.) throughout the recording. Works best for 2–6 distinct speakers with reasonably clear audio.

How long does MP3 transcription take?

Typically 3–8 minutes for a one-hour recording. Processing time depends on file size, audio quality, and server load.

What formats can I download the transcript in?

TXT (plain text), DOCX (editable Word document), SRT (subtitle file with timestamps), and VTT (WebVTT subtitle file) - all from the same upload.

Are my MP3 files kept private?

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