Transcribe Audio Files
Queue audio or video files and process them with a selected Mode.
Overview
Use Transcribe Audio Files when you want VoiceInk to process an existing audio or video file instead of dictating in the moment. Files use the same Mode-based transcription, formatting, word replacement, and enhancement pipeline, but they are processed from a queue.
Add Files
You can:
- Drag audio or video files into the view.
- Click Choose Files when the queue is empty.
- Click Add when the queue already contains files.
Supported extensions:
wav, mp3, m4a, aiff, mp4, mov, aac, flac, caf, amr, ogg, oga, opus, 3gp
Choose a Mode
Use the Mode picker in the top bar before starting. The selected Mode controls:
- Transcription model
- Language
- Realtime availability where applicable
- Formatting
- Word Replacements
- AI enhancement provider, model, prompt, and context settings
If no enabled Mode exists, processing cannot start.
Process the Queue
Click Start to process pending files. VoiceInk runs them sequentially.
Use Cancel to stop queue processing. In-progress items return to pending.
Completed Results
Completed rows can be expanded. If enhancement ran, use the Original and Enhanced tabs. You can copy or save the visible text.
Each completed file is also saved in History with the audio file, model metadata, prompt name, timing data, and Mode details.
Clear the Queue
Click Clear to cancel work and remove all queue items from the Transcribe view. Completed transcriptions already saved in History remain there.
