About convert.express
convert.express is a browser-based transcription service that converts audio and video recordings to text using AI. Upload any common format — MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, OGG, MP4, MOV, or MKV — and receive an accurate transcript in under a minute. Language is detected automatically across 66 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and more.
Two AI models are available: OpenAI Whisper, covering 57 languages with strong multilingual accuracy, and MAI-Transcribe 1.5, a preview model covering 43 languages that returns results faster and supports entity biasing for proper names and technical terms. Both run on the same infrastructure and produce output in the language of the recording.
The first 10 minutes of audio are free every day — no credit card required to get started. Recordings beyond the daily quota are billed at €0.02 per minute with a minimum of €0.50 per transaction. Files are automatically deleted within 24 hours of upload and are never used to train AI models.
