An increasing number of people make audio recordings...

  • lectures;
  • presentations;
  • speeches;
  • radio broadcasts;
  • vidcasts;
  • forums;
  • video conferences;
  • skype calls;
  • assessments;
  • interviews; and so on.
Somebody is then often tasked to transcribe it. Why? Well by converting the audio into text files, the audio can be made searchable on the web, making it easier for others to find.

VoiceBase is a web service that lets audio producers perform this task with greater ease.

VoiceBase lets registered users...

  • upload audio files and transcribe audio to text automatically online;
  • check the site's transcription for any errors and correct them manually;
  • host the audio file, along with its transcription, on the VoiceBase account;
  • make, if they wish, the audio file, along with its transcription, public and searchable for other users; they can then search the content in the transcription and jump to the audio position relevant to their search.

Free users of the service get up to 2 hours of audio storage that is kept online for a year. For more storage users can opt for the paid package.
