Turning your video and audio files to text shouldn’t be more difficult than putting a sweater on an octopus.

Humans have landed a man on the moon, so why are we still spending hours hand typing our files?

We at Maestra have been working hard to solve this issue for you. We’re happy to announce that we’ve created online software that can automatically transcribe your files to text: fast and easy, so you can spend your day focusing on the things that are important to you.

How does it work you ask? We’re happy to explain below:

First sign up for Maestra, then begin the process by clicking the “+ New Transcription” button on the top of the page.

Upload your file by dragging it into the grey box, or by browsing through your files.

If you have multiple long files and don’t want to wait for them to upload, you can toggle on “Submit automatically once uploaded” to automatically submit your files once they’ve uploaded, without having to wait to press “Submit.”

Our engines can take a few minutes to run, but your file should always be ready in less time than the length of the audio.

And there you have it! Your file has now been automatically turned into text!

You can edit the text, as well as the speaker tags, for any mistakes. Highlight, bold, take notes, and export in a variety of formats. Share with whomever you’d like!

To export, simply click the “Export” button in the top right corner and select the format you’d like to export in, then click “Export” on the bottom right of the box.

You can also send your files to others through email, and can share your files online, in a sharable link that looks something like this: https://web.maestrasuite.com/t/Z7qprxkI7ngpON06glsmt. But that’s totally up to you!

Thanks for reading, and please send us a message if you have any questions. We’re always happy to hear from you at Support@MaestraSuite.com!
