I. Main Uses Vocova is mainly used to transcribe speech content from audio and video files or online links into text. It is suitable for scenarios that require converting speech to text, such as meeting notes, interview organization, podcast transcription, subtitle creation, and lecture notes. Users can add audio in three ways: uploading files, pasting links, or recording in the browser.
