About the format
A practical format for spoken audio
MP3 compresses audio into smaller files, which makes it a common choice for interviews, podcasts and exported recordings. Clear speech and low background noise usually produce the most useful transcript.

Questions
MP3 transcription FAQ
Can I edit the MP3 transcript?
Yes. The transcript appears in an editable text area, and copy or download uses your latest version.
What happens to my MP3 file?
The file is uploaded to temporary private storage, sent to the configured transcription provider, and then scheduled for deletion. VoxText does not create a media library.
Does a higher bitrate help?
Speech clarity matters more than a very high bitrate. A clean recording with close microphones and little background noise generally transcribes better.
