How to Transcribe Audio to Text with ChatGPT

About this video

Kevin shows how to transcribe audio to text in ChatGPT using OpenAI’s direct audio upload. A paid ChatGPT plan is required. ChatGPT supports common audio formats like MP3, WAV, and M4A. You add a recording — meetings, interviews, or voice memos — either via the plus icon’s add photos and files option or, his preferred method, by dragging and dropping the file from your PC into ChatGPT. Once uploaded, you can click the transcribe/summarize prompt or simply type ’transcribe this audio’ and send it; the transcript returns quickly. Because it is inside ChatGPT, you can do more with the result: he prompts it to turn the transcript into a business dashboard with key metrics at the top, an interactive checklist showing who is responsible for what (with tasks you can check off), and key takeaways at the bottom. When finished, copy and paste the transcript into Word, Google Docs, or wherever you need it. He cautions that AI transcription is not always perfect — especially with names, technical terms, or a lot of background noise — so review the transcript against the original recording.

Key takeaways

• Transcribing audio in ChatGPT requires a paid ChatGPT plan and a recording in a common format such as MP3, WAV, or M4A
• Upload by dragging and dropping the file into ChatGPT (or via the plus icon), then click the transcribe option or type ’transcribe this audio'
• The same chat can summarize the recording or transform the transcript — e.g., into a business dashboard with key metrics, an interactive responsibility checklist, and key takeaways
• Copy the finished transcript into Word, Google Docs, or another tool to use it elsewhere
• Proofread against the original recording: AI transcription can err especially on names, technical terms, and audio with background noise
