Figures are Word Error Rate (%) — the share of words a system gets wrong, so lower is better. It is the metric the paper reports, kept here so the table can be checked against it line for line; the headline numbers above are its flip side, accuracy. Vatis at 4.4 WER on Antena 1 is 95.6% of words correct. Every score is zero-shot: no system was tuned on these recordings before it was measured.
Outlined values are the best score in their column.

Frequently asked questions
Can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our support team.

Yes. Vatis Tech offers 10 minutes of free OGG to text conversion with no signup and no credit card. The free version includes all features: 95%+ accuracy, speaker identification, AI summaries, and export in all formats. Upload your audio file and get a transcript instantly — completely free.

Our audio to text converter supports 30+ formats including MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AAC, OGG, AIFF, WMA, and OPUS. Files can be up to 5GB and 10 hours long. If you have an unusual format, try uploading it — there's a good chance we support it.
Can I identify different speakers in my OGG file?
Vatis Tech's speaker identification feature automatically adds speaker labels, ensuring you always know who said what.
Can I export OGG transcripts as subtitles?
Yes! You can export your transcript as an SRT subtitle file or plain TXT. Vatis Tech works great for adding subtitles to social videos or publishing audio content with captions.
How do I search and edit within my transcripts?
Our automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology allows you to easily search for keywords and directly edit your text, enabling you to find, review, and refine important information in no time. Press Control + F (or Command + F on Mac) to search for specific keywords or phrases in your transcript. To edit, highlight the desired text directly in the editor and start typing your changes. This makes finding and refining important information quick and easy.
Does Vatis Tech provide timestamps for my transcript?
Yes, our audio to text transcription software includes timestamps with your transcript. This helps you pinpoint specific moments in the original audio or video file.
Does OGG compression affect transcription accuracy?
Not with Vatis Tech. Our AI models are trained on a wide range of audio qualities, including compressed formats like OGG. We achieve 95%+ accuracy on OGG files with clear speech, even at lower bitrates (128kbps and above). For the best results, use recordings with minimal background noise.
Is Vatis Tech the most accurate speech to text app?
Vatis Tech achieves 95%+ accuracy on clear audio recordings. For audio with background noise, multiple speakers, or heavy accents, accuracy is typically lower. You can improve results further with custom vocabulary for domain-specific terms. Our AI outperforms most competitors on real-world audio because our models are specifically trained on challenging, noisy recordings. For further proof, the independent benchmark on this page compares our accuracy with Microsoft, Google and every Whisper model on six Romanian test sets.
Can I convert multiple MP3 files at once?
Yes. With a paid plan, you can upload multiple MP3 files for batch transcription. Our infrastructure processes them in parallel so you get all your transcripts back quickly. For high-volume needs, our API lets you automate MP3 to text conversion at scale.
Is WAV better than MP3 for transcription?
Yes. WAV is uncompressed audio, so it retains all the original sound information. This gives transcription AI the cleanest possible input, which typically results in slightly higher accuracy than compressed formats like MP3. If you have both formats available, WAV will produce a better transcript.
Can I transcribe iPhone Voice Memos?
Yes. iPhone Voice Memos are saved as M4A files. Just upload the M4A file to Vatis Tech and get a full transcript in minutes. You can access Voice Memos via iCloud Drive, AirDrop to your computer, or share the file directly from the Voice Memos app.
Do I need to convert OGG to MP3 first?
No. Our converter handles OGG files natively. No format conversion needed, just upload the OGG file directly and get your transcript. Converting to MP3 would actually reduce quality and could lower transcription accuracy.
Can I convert WhatsApp voice messages to text?
Yes. Export the voice message from WhatsApp (long-press the message, tap Share, then Save to Files or send to your computer). Upload the audio file to Vatis Tech and get a transcript in seconds. WhatsApp voice messages are saved as OGG files, which our converter handles natively.
Does voice to text work with phone recordings?
Yes. Our converter supports all phone recording formats: M4A (iPhone Voice Memos), OGG (Android), MP3, AAC, and WAV. Just upload the file from your phone or cloud storage (iCloud, Google Drive) and get a transcript.
