Convert Voicemail to Text
Stop replaying a voicemail three times to catch a name or a number. Save the message as an audio file, upload it here, and read the whole thing in seconds. Free, no signup.
How it works
Save the voicemail as a file
On iPhone, open the Phone app's Voicemail tab, tap the message, then tap share to save it as audio (.m4a). Many carriers email voicemails as .mp3 or .wav, and Google Voice lets you download any message as an .mp3.
Upload it here
Drop the file in or click to browse. Voicemails up to 5 minutes are free — which covers nearly every message ever left.
Read, copy, or download
Read the message as text on the page, copy it, or download it as TXT, PDF, or Word to save or forward.
Why people transcribe voicemails
A voicemail is a message someone left you. Turn it into text you can read at a glance, save permanently, search later, and forward in writing.
Read, don't replay
Catch the name, callback number, and details without scrubbing back and forth.
Save the important ones
Keep a text copy of messages that matter before your mailbox deletes them.
Business voicemail logs
Turn customer and client messages into a searchable written record.
Accessibility
Read voicemails instead of listening — essential if you're deaf or hard of hearing.
Payment, landlord & legal records
Keep written documentation of commitments and notices left by phone.
Forward it in writing
Paste the actual message into an email or text instead of summarizing it.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes — transcribing voicemails up to 5 minutes is free with no signup. Voicemails almost never run that long, so virtually every message fits. For longer files, AI summaries, and more exports, create a free account.
How do I get my voicemail as an audio file?
On iPhone, open the Phone app's Voicemail tab, tap the message, then tap the share icon to save it as an audio file (.m4a). Many carriers offer voicemail-to-email, which delivers messages as .mp3 or .wav attachments. Google Voice lets you download any voicemail as an .mp3. Once you have the file, upload it here — this tool transcribes saved files, it doesn't connect to your phone line.
My Android voicemail app exported an .amr file — will that work?
Not currently — the tool doesn't accept AMR. The easiest workaround is your carrier's voicemail-to-email option, which usually delivers the message as an .mp3 you can upload here. MP3, M4A, MP4, WAV, MOV, WEBM, AAC, and FLAC all work.
Voicemails are phone-quality audio — how accurate is the transcript?
We use a leading speech-to-text model that handles compressed phone audio well. Clear messages transcribe very accurately; heavy background noise or a fast, mumbled caller may need a quick read-through against the audio.
Is my voicemail stored anywhere?
No. Voicemails are often personal or sensitive, so your file is sent for transcription and is not retained on our servers.
Need more?
A free account unlocks 25-minute files, AI summaries, and export to TXT, SRT, and VTT — handy for transcribing longer recordings, not just voicemails.
