How to transcribe video and audio files

Toqan can transform an audio or video file into text in a process known as transcription – it turns speech into text.

It can transcribe interviews, video meetings and voice notes in a fraction of the time it takes to do it manually.

Try it the next time you have a meeting: record the session then upload the file into Toqan and ask it to transcribe it for you.

You’ll never have to worry about taking notes again!
