Frequently Asked Questions — Voqia
General
What exactly is Voqia?
Voqia.fr is an AI audio transcription web app. It converts speech to text in real time (via microphone or system audio) or from uploaded audio/video files. Transcription is powered by our advanced AI, with AI transformations for translation, summarization, and analysis.
Who is Voqia for?
Voqia is designed for anyone who needs to convert audio to text: students for lectures, professionals for meetings, journalists for interviews, content creators for podcasts, researchers, lawyers, doctors, and more.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every new account gets 10 free minutes of transcription without a credit card. Beyond that, plans starting at 4.99 EUR add minutes without a subscription.
How accurate is the transcription?
Accuracy depends on audio quality and language. With clear audio, our AI achieves 95%+ accuracy on major languages like French and English.
Which languages are supported?
Transcription recognizes 13+ languages, including French, English, Arabic, Spanish, German and Italian. Text-to-speech speaks 9 languages, and AI translation works between the main languages in both directions.
Is voice cloning free?
Yes. Record 30 seconds of reading to create your cloned voice, then use it with text-to-speech on your free minutes, no credit card. The number of simultaneous voices then depends on your plan.
Technical
How does live mode work?
Live mode captures audio from your microphone and/or screen in real time. Sound is sent to the server via WebSocket, transcribed by the selected AI model, and text appears instantly in your browser.
What file formats are accepted?
Voqia accepts: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, WebM (audio) and MP4, MOV (video). Maximum size is 500 MB per file.
What's the difference between AI models?
Voqia uses a high-accuracy AI model for transcription, optimized for French and diarization (speaker separation). AI transformations (translation, summary, Q&A, fact-checking) are powered behind the scenes by best-in-class AI models.
What is diarization?
Diarization automatically identifies different speakers in an audio recording. It's available with the advanced model in file mode and lets you rename each speaker.
What are transformation modes?
Beyond raw transcription, Voqia offers 4 AI transformations: Translate (to another language), Answer (automatic Q&A), Improve (clear rewriting), Verify (fact-checking).
Is my data secure?
Your audio files are processed for transcription then deleted. Transcriptions are stored temporarily for your session. Authentication is handled by Google Firebase.
Can I transcribe a Zoom, Teams or Google Meet meeting?
Yes. Open Live mode and enable system audio capture: Voqia transcribes the meeting sound straight from your browser, in real time, with optional speaker separation and AI summary.
Can audio be translated automatically?
Yes. After transcription (file or live), enable the Translation transformation and choose the target language. In Live mode, the translation appears while the person is speaking.
