Audio Transcription

Transcribe audio files by dropping them into Freestyle — no microphone needed.

This is a first-party Freestyle plugin. It adds a Transcribe Files page where you can drop or pick audio files and get clean text back, using the same local or cloud transcription model you've configured for dictation.

Usage

1. Open Plugins → Audio Transcription → Open.
2. Drop one or more audio files onto the page (or click to choose).
3. Each file is transcribed and cleaned up; copy the result with one click.

Supported formats include wav, mp3, m4a, ogg, and flac. Files are decoded and resampled to 16 kHz mono in the page before being sent to your local server, so any common format works regardless of the provider.

Privacy

Audio is sent only to the Freestyle server you've configured — your local machine by default. Nothing leaves your device unless you've set up a cloud provider.

How it works

The plugin's page talks to the server's /api/transcribe endpoint through the Freestyle plugin bridge (window.freestyle.api). It ships no model of its own and reuses your configured voice model and cleanup settings.
