AudioToText Optimizer

A lightweight, local command-line tool designed to prepare and compress audio/video files for fast, highly accurate AI Speech-to-Text transcription.

This tool is created and maintained by FreeAudioToText.com.

Why use this tool?

Most modern AI transcription models (like Whisper) downsample audio to 16kHz mono before processing. Uploading a massive 4K video file or a 320kbps stereo MP3 to a transcription service just wastes bandwidth and upload time.

audiototext-optimizer uses ffmpeg locally to perfectly format your media for transcription (16kHz, mono, 64k bitrate), reducing file sizes by up to 90% without losing any vocal clarity.

Installation

pip install audiototext-optimizer

Note: You must have ffmpeg installed on your system.

Usage

Simply pass your audio or video file to the CLI:

audiototext-optimize my_podcast.wav

This will automatically create a highly compressed my_podcast_optimized.mp3 file.

You can then upload this optimized file directly to FreeAudioToText for secure, privacy-first transcription.
