Hey everyone, I’m seeking a website or app that can convert audio to a text file. I’ve tried some free options but they aren’t that great! Has anyone used a paid version that they recommend? Or is there a free option that works well?

It can be used to convert audio heard from speakers or even a form of converter of a YouTube video to the caption text could be useful too. I have used the direct way of opening the youtube transcript and copying that but the format isn’t great!

I might be asking for too much haha any suggestions or experiences are helpful 😃
