Frequently asked questions
Does lossy MP3 compression reduce transcription accuracy?
At standard bitrates (128 kbps to 320 kbps), modern Whisper-class AI transcribes MP3 audio with accuracy virtually identical to uncompressed WAV. If your MP3 is heavily compressed or recorded at very low bitrates (e.g., 32–64 kbps mono), selecting accurate mode paired with our optional AI audio restoration cleans up compression artifacts before decoding.
Does it handle multiple speakers?
Yes. Turn on speaker recognition when you start the job and every segment comes back labeled by speaker, so a two-person interview reads as a clean Q&A and a team meeting shows who said what. It works across all ~98 supported languages, and the labels carry through to exports such as TXT, DOCX and JSON.
Can I fix mistakes in the transcript?
Yes — every segment is editable right in the browser. Click a line to fix wording, delete filler segments entirely, and click any sentence to replay the exact audio behind it when you want to double-check what was said. All 8 export formats — TXT, SRT, VTT, TSV, CSV, JSON, PDF, DOCX — are generated from the edited version, so corrections only need to be made once.
