The Open-Source Audio Standard
OGG is a free, open container format developed by Xiph.Org. It holds Vorbis or Opus audio and is common in games, browsers and open-source software.
Vorbis & Opus
Both live in the OGG container. Vorbis is older and common for music and game audio; Opus is newer, built for speech, and used by voice chat apps such as Discord. Hear2Text accepts both, recognizes the codec itself and transcribes them the same way, up to 500 MB and 6 hours per file. Recordings are transcribed after they are made, not live.
Codec Detection
Vorbis and Opus files are both recognized automatically; you do not need to know which one yours uses.
Royalty Free
No licensing fees - that's why it's the choice for indie developers and open projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about OGG transcription.
Can I transcribe Discord voice recordings?
Yes, once the call is recorded. Discord has no built-in recorder, so record with a bot such as Craig or with OBS, then upload the OGG or other file here. Hear2Text does not join calls or transcribe live. Per-speaker tracks can be joined into one file first, and speaker identification labels the voices. Files up to 500 MB and 6 hours.
Is OGG good for game dialogue transcription?
Yes. Dialogue lines, voice acting sessions and playtest recordings in OGG Vorbis transcribe well when the voice is clear. Each upload is one transcription and there is no batch import, so hundreds of short dialogue lines are best joined into one longer file first. Music and effects mixed under the voice lower accuracy, so a dry voice track works best.
How does OGG compare to MP3 for transcription?
About the same. Every file is converted to compressed mono audio before transcription, so an OGG and an MP3 of the same recording give nearly identical text. Vorbis and Opus are efficient codecs, and even low-bitrate Opus voice recordings transcribe well. Background noise, game sound under speech and people talking over each other affect accuracy far more than the format does.
What's the difference between OGG Vorbis and OGG Opus?
Both live in the OGG container. Vorbis is older and common for music and game audio; Opus is newer, built for speech, and used by voice chat apps such as Discord. Hear2Text accepts both, recognizes the codec itself and transcribes them the same way, up to 500 MB and 6 hours per file. Recordings are transcribed after they are made, not live.
Can you handle streaming platform exports?
Yes, if you have the file. Upload OGG audio exported from your stream or clip, up to 500 MB and 6 hours. For Twitch you can also paste a public VOD, highlight or clip link instead; subscriber-only VODs cannot be fetched, and a stream cannot be transcribed while it is live. The free plan covers 120 minutes every week.
Why choose OGG over other formats?
You do not need to choose it for transcription. OGG is open and royalty-free, which is why games, browsers and voice chat apps use it, but an MP3 or M4A transcribes just as well. If your recordings are already OGG, upload them as they are, up to 500 MB and 6 hours; there is nothing to convert first. The free plan covers 120 minutes every week.
