Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert an OGG file to text?
Upload an OGG recording or paste a public direct audio link, choose the spoken language, and start transcription. Whisper Web turns the speech into editable text. Listen back to check the result, then copy or download your transcript on this page.
Can I transcribe OGG files for free?
Yes. Free local transcription accepts files up to 20 minutes and 200 MB each, with no signup or credit card required. You can edit and export the result. Pro offers cloud processing for longer recordings, batch uploads and saved history.
Why can't my OGG file be read?
Local transcription needs your browser to decode the audio first. The .ogg extension alone does not guarantee that the audio inside is supported. If decoding fails, export a WAV or MP3 copy using an audio app and try again. Simply renaming the file extension will not convert it.
Can I transcribe an OGG voice message?
Yes, if you have the voice message as an audio file your browser can read. Save a recording you own or have permission to use, then select it from your device. You do not need to record the message again through your microphone. If the file cannot be decoded, try a WAV or MP3 copy.
How accurate is OGG transcription?
Accuracy depends on the spoken language, recording quality and selected model. Clear speech gives the best results; background noise, overlapping voices or unclear pronunciation can cause mistakes. The OGG format alone does not determine accuracy. Review names, numbers and important quotes against the original audio.
Can I edit my OGG transcript before downloading?
Yes. Search for words, edit paragraphs and click timestamps to replay the original recording. Your corrections are included in copied text and downloads. You review the transcript yourself; Whisper Web does not include a human proofreading service.
Can I convert OGG to Word, TXT or subtitles?
Yes. Download your transcript as Word (DOCX) or TXT, with optional timestamps, or export SRT and VTT subtitles. JSON export and copying the text are also available. These files contain your transcribed words, not a converted audio recording.
Which languages can I transcribe from OGG audio?
Whisper Web supports 98+ languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Choose the spoken language or use automatic detection. Your transcript stays in the original language; this page does not automatically translate it.
Can I import an OGG recording from a link?
Use a public direct audio link that your browser can access. A video page or a private cloud-storage sharing page is not a direct audio file. If the link cannot be imported, download a recording you own or have permission to use and select the local file instead.
Does my OGG recording stay on my device?
Free transcription processes the audio locally in your browser. Pro uploads your recording for cloud transcription and saved history. Copy or download local results before closing the tab, since your local edits stay in the current tab.
