Chat With an Audio Recording Using AI
Audio GPT takes an audio file, transcribes it, and lets you ask questions about what is in it instead of listening back or reading the whole transcript yourself. Upload a meeting, interview, lecture, or podcast and get answers about anything it contains, each one pointing to the moment in the recording.
5,865,124+ recordings have been processed on ScreenApp.Audio GPT is built around the audio file itself: it records, stores a library of recordings, and turns each one into a searchable transcript with speaker labels and timestamps.
What you get with every upload:
- A transcript with speaker labels and timestamps, in 100+ languages
- AI chat with any recording, with answers that point to the moment in the recording
- PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT export formats
- Free plan: 2 transcriptions of recordings up to 45 minutes each, with AI chat
How to Chat With an Audio Recording
- Upload your file: drag and drop MP3, WAV, or M4A, or paste a URL. You can also record straight from your phone or browser if you do not already have a file.
- AI transcribes it: speech recognition writes the transcript with speaker labels and timestamps.
- Chat with it: ask a question like “What were the action items?” or “Summarize the first ten minutes” and get an answer with a timestamp reference.
Accuracy depends on the recording: a clear file with one speaker at a time transcribes better than a noisy one with people talking over each other. See how we measure accuracy.

- vs OpenAI Whisper API: Whisper is a developer API at $0.006 a minute with no chat interface; it returns text, and you build the chat yourself. Audio GPT is the browser tool and the chat in one place.
- vs Google Gemini: Gemini can answer questions about an uploaded audio file, but the free tier caps a prompt at 10 minutes of audio before you need a paid Google AI plan for up to 3 hours. ScreenApp’s free plan is 2 transcriptions of recordings up to 45 minutes each with the transcript kept in your library afterward.
- vs AssemblyAI: AssemblyAI is a transcription API priced at $0.15 an hour, with speaker labels as a separate add-on at +$0.02/hr. It has no chat feature; you would still need to build one on top of the transcript.
Who Uses Audio GPT
Students and researchers upload lectures, interviews, and research recordings and ask questions instead of listening back to find one detail. Asking “What did the professor say about photosynthesis?” gets an answer with a timestamp.
Business professionals upload meeting and call recordings and ask for action items, decisions, and deadlines instead of taking notes during the call.
Podcasters and content creators pull quotes, topics, and talking points out of an episode to write show notes without re-listening to the whole recording.
Journalists chat with interview recordings to find a specific statement or check a quote across a long conversation.
