How to transcribe audio files with your AI

Connect Speechnotes to your AI client once. From then on, you just hand your agent a URL and it handles the conversion.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I turn an audio URL into text using my AI?

Give your agent a direct link to the audio file. It will trigger the transcription, track the progress, and fetch the text file for you. You'll get a clean text export to use immediately.

The end results

What you get from the request

The AI processes the link and delivers these specific outcomes.

TEXT

A text file export

The agent pulls the completed transcription. You get the full text of the recording to use in your notes or documents.

STATUS

Progress updates

Your agent monitors the job. It knows exactly when the transcription is finished so you don't have to check manually.

HUMAN

Manual cleanup

The AI provides the raw text. You'll need to review the output to fix any specific names or technical terms it might miss.

LINK

Direct URL access

The agent works directly with the web link you provide. This removes the need to download and re-upload files to different tools.

The workflow

What your AI does when the URL arrives.

Your agent manages the communication with Speechnotes to turn audio into text.

  2. Check progress

FAQ

How the task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI transcribe files from my computer?

    No. The agent requires a direct URL to the audio file to perform the transcription.

  • 02

    Does the AI fix typos in the transcript?

    No. The agent only retrieves the text produced by the service. You have to handle any editing or corrections yourself.

  • 03

    How do I know when the text is ready?

    The agent monitors the job status and will tell you as soon as the transcription is complete.

  • 04

    Can the AI delete my audio files?

    No. The agent only has tools to start, check, and export transcriptions. It cannot delete files.

  • 05

    What if the audio link is private?

    The agent needs to be able to access the URL. If the link is behind a login or a firewall, the transcription will fail.
