## Speech-to-Text questions

### What does ACRCloud Speech-to-Text do?

ACRCloud Speech-to-Text converts broadcast radio and TV streams into text in real time and supports multiple languages. It can also scan audio files and transcribe them into text with timestamps, so both live broadcasts and recorded files can be turned into text.

### Can Speech-to-Text transcribe live radio?

Yes. ACRCloud Speech-to-Text works on live broadcast streams and converts radio and TV streams into text in real time. This makes it suitable for radio transcription and for following spoken content on the same stations where ACRCloud also monitors music and adverts.

### Can I transcribe recorded audio files?

Yes. ACRCloud Speech-to-Text scans audio files in batches and transcribes them into text with timestamps, so you can find where in a recording something was said. This complements the real-time transcription of radio and TV streams for content that has already been recorded.
