Frequently asked questions

How do I convert an MP3 file to text?

Create a free Jackob.ai account, upload your MP3 file, and the AI transcribes it automatically. You can then review the transcript alongside the audio and export it as DOCX, PDF, TXT, SRT, or VTT.

How accurate is MP3 transcription?

Accuracy depends on audio quality, background noise, and the number of speakers. Clear single-speaker recordings typically need only light correction. We recommend testing with your own recording on the free plan — no credit card is required.

How long can my MP3 file be?

Long recordings such as full interviews, lectures, and podcast episodes are supported. Paid plans include 20 to 100 hours of transcription per month.

Is my MP3 audio kept private?

Yes. Files are processed securely, are never used to train AI models, and can be deleted from your account at any time.
