Today’s business environment includes more phone and video conferencing than ever. Millions of professionals now conduct online interviews, meetings, brainstorming sessions, and much more on a daily basis.
Through it all, they’re recording and creating audio files for everything. That means a lot of transcriptions, which have traditionally taken a significant amount of resources.
There is a better way, however: a speech to text solution that quickly allows for converting m4a files into text. The process of converting audio to text is as easy as 1-2-3 with our platform:
How to Convert M4A to Text Online
1. Upload Your M4A Files
Select
First, select the M4A audio file to convert from your computer. You can also choose to paste a URL that takes our transcription experts directly to your English M4A file.
Order
Next, go to our website and select “Get Started” from the Transcription page. Follow the onscreen steps to place your transcription order. You can also choose to send additional information, such as speaker names and a list of specific or unique terms. Other order options include video captions and foreign subtitles.


Relax
The file transfer process is confidential and highly secure thanks to a suite of comprehensive security tools. We use transcription during the file transfer process as well as throughout file storage and until it gets transcribed.
2. Let Rev Convert Your M4A Files to Text
Always Available
Once we receive it, our team of native English-speaking transcribers takes the audio files you uploaded and converts those m4a files to text. These transcription professionals work around the clock and are available seven days a week to accept transcription requests.
Rev also has the world’s most accurate automatic transcription service as an option – this is a cheaper solution with a little less accuracy than human transcription.
3. Receive Final Transcript
Receipt
Typically, within a few hours of placing a standard transcription order for an audio or video file that is less than 30 minutes, you will receive an encrypted, editable file.
If you are in a hurry, you can also select rush delivery when you order, and you will receive your text in less than four hours.
Review and Share
Then, you can use our interactive editing tools to polish and finalize your document. These tools also provide a way to annotate your transcription.
From there, you can choose from various file formats to export and share.
