# Speech-to-Text

> Learn how to convert spoken audio into text inside your app.

## Introduction

Learn how to convert spoken audio into text inside your app.

The Speech-to-Text integration allows your app to transcribe audio into written text using ElevenLabs Scribe, a powerful speech recognition system. This integration enables apps to capture voice input and convert it into accurate, readable text in real time or from recorded audio.

Speech-to-text is widely used for accessibility, productivity, and voice-driven interactions.

## What You Can Build

With Speech-to-Text enabled, your app can support features such as:

* **Voice Input** – Allow users to speak instead of typing, converting their speech into text instantly.
* **Meeting Transcription** – Record conversations and generate accurate transcripts.
* **Voice Commands** – Enable users to control app features using spoken instructions.
* **Podcast and Audio Transcription** – Convert long-form audio into readable text for summaries or content reuse.
* **Accessibility Features** – Help users interact with your app using voice, improving inclusivity.

## How It Works

When the Speech-to-Text integration is enabled, your app sends audio input to ElevenLabs Scribe, which processes the speech and returns a text transcription.

Your app can:

* Capture live voice input from users
* Process recorded audio files
* Convert speech into structured text
* Use transcribed text for search, summaries, or actions

This allows you to build voice-driven experiences without needing to implement complex speech recognition systems yourself.

Because transcription is handled by ElevenLabs, you can focus on how the text is used within your app.

## Example Prompts

You can use prompts like these when building your app:

**Add voice input**

Add a voice input button to my app that transcribes what the user says using ElevenLabs Scribe.

**Add meeting transcription**

Add a meeting transcription screen to my app that records audio and returns a text summary.

These prompts help you quickly implement voice-to-text functionality.

## Common Use Cases

Developers commonly use the Speech-to-Text integration for:

* Note-taking and productivity apps
* Meeting assistants
* Voice-enabled interfaces
* Transcription tools
* Accessibility-focused applications

This integration is especially useful when users prefer speaking over typing.

## Best Practices

When implementing speech-to-text features, consider the following:

* Provide clear indicators when recording is active
* Allow users to edit transcribed text
* Handle background noise for better accuracy
* Break long recordings into manageable segments
* Combine transcription with summaries for better usability
