Speech to Text for Recorded Audio & Video

Speech-to-text technology has crossed the threshold where reviewing an AI draft is dramatically faster than typing from scratch. Jackob.ai applies state-of-the-art speech recognition to your recorded files: upload speech in any of 98 languages and get accurate, timestamped, speaker-labeled text in minutes.

Unlike live dictation tools, this is built for recordings — lectures, interviews, meetings, podcasts, videos — with the review workflow and export formats (DOCX, PDF, TXT, SRT, VTT) that real work requires.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is AI speech to text?

On clear recordings in major languages, modern AI reaches near-human accuracy; harder audio (noise, accents, crosstalk) needs a quick review pass. Jackob.ai’s synchronized player makes that review fast — and the free plan lets you test accuracy on your own recording.

What’s the difference between dictation and speech-to-text transcription?

Dictation converts your live speech as you talk, one speaker, short form. Transcription converts recorded files — any length, any number of speakers — and produces structured output like documents and subtitles.

Is this private? What happens to my meeting recording?

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