    How to convert WMA to text

    WMA is Microsoft's Windows Media Audio format, common in older Windows recorders, dictation software and office archives. Upload a .wma 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 WMA file

      WMA files come from older Windows recorders, Windows Media Player and dictation devices. Copy the file from the PC or the device, 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.
