Questions
About the audio to text
MP3, M4A, MP4, WAV, WebM, OGG and FLAC. Video files work too, as long as they are under 4 MB.
Trim it or export it as a lower-bitrate MP3, or use Studio in the Oravo app, which transcribes long recordings on your own machine.
To keep these tools free for everyone, they run on a smaller, faster AI model with tight limits on length and daily use. The Oravo app uses our best models, understands accents and context, and works inside every app you type in, with no daily cap.
No. Your audio or text is sent once to our AI provider to produce the result and is not stored by Oravo or used for training. Nothing is saved to an account, because there is no account.
