About this tool

The format your phone already uses, handled natively

M4A is the default format behind a lot of everyday recordings — voice memos, quick reminders, recorded lectures, calls saved from your phone. It's convenient for recording, but plenty of transcription tools still ask you to convert it to something else first.

FoziScribe skips that step. Upload your M4A file straight from your phone or computer, choose Fast for a quick draft or Accuracy for a more careful pass that holds onto pacing and pauses, and let the engine listen through it.

Your transcript comes back ready to copy or save as a .txt file — perfect for turning a quick voice memo into something you can search, share, or paste into your notes.

Built for the way you work.

What this does, and what it saves you doing by hand.

Reads M4A natively

Including files exported straight from iPhone Voice Memos — no conversion needed.

Fast or Accuracy mode

Choose the pass that fits — quick drafts or a more careful, detailed read.

Text you can use right away

Copy your transcript or download it as a .txt file the moment it's ready.

Automatic language detection

Across 99 languages, FoziScribe figures out what's being said without any setup.

Your recording stays private

Processed in memory and discarded — never stored once your transcript is generated.

The same speech-recognition technology behind some of the most accurate transcription tools available.

Free to start, and one balance covers everything.

10 credits every month on the free plan, no card. One subscription unlocks all fifteen tools, and the same pool of credits spends across every one of them.
