How to extract and transcribe audio from a video interview

For transcribing an interview, call recording or lecture to text, you usually don't need the video track — it only increases the file size and slows down uploading to the transcription service.

Extracting audio

VideoToAudio converts a video file to an audio track (MP3 or another format) right in your browser — no need to install converters or upload videos to third-party services for transcription.

If the recording is in several parts

When an interview was recorded in multiple sessions (e.g., the call was interrupted), it's convenient to first extract audio from each part with VideoToAudio, then merge them into a single track with AudioMerger — so the transcription is based on one complete file rather than fragments.

Converting to the required format

If the transcription service only accepts a specific format — MP3 or WAV — Audio Converter will re-save your file: a voice recorder WAV can be compressed into a compact MP3, or the other way around, you can get an uncompressed WAV from MP3 for editing in a sound editor.

Why this is better than using third-party converters

Processing happens locally in your browser — the call or interview recording, which may contain confidential information, is never sent to an external server.
