Frequently asked questions
Can I turn a podcast MP3 into text?
Yes. Open the episode, then click “Identify speakers”: the hosts and guests are told apart by voice, and you can give them their names before downloading the transcript.
Does it write down song lyrics?
Sometimes, but it's made for speech: singing over loud music is often missed or misheard. Spoken word — talks, interviews, audiobooks — works best.
Is my MP3 uploaded?
No. Your browser decodes the MP3 and recognises the speech on your device; the file never leaves it.
Is it really free?
Yes. Cutlia is free to use with no account, no trial and no watermark on your export. The site is paid for by the ads on it, and your files never leave your device.
