    How to convert AIFF to text

    AIFF is Apple's uncompressed audio format, used by Mac audio apps such as Logic Pro and GarageBand. Upload a .aiff / .aif file and Scriptivox turns the speech in it into an accurate transcript with timestamps and speaker labels, which you can edit and download as TXT, DOCX, PDF, CSV, SRT or VTT.

    1. Upload your AIFF file

      AIFF files come from Logic Pro, GarageBand and other Mac audio apps, and from some studio recorders. Export or copy the .aiff or .aif file, then upload it.

    2. Choose the language

      Leave it on auto-detect or pick one of more than 100 languages. Turn on speaker recognition when more than one person talks.

    3. Edit and export

      Read the transcript with timestamps, correct any word in the editor, then download it as TXT, DOCX, PDF, CSV, SRT or VTT.
