Common AAC sources
Audio recorded on iPhones, Android voice recorders, and audio exported from video editors is often AAC. ScriptNova reads it natively.
Note: M4A files are also AAC audio in a different container — both formats are fully supported.
Language and export options
Automatic language detection works the same for AAC as for any other format. Export TXT, DOCX (Starter+), or SRT (Pro) after transcription.
Common questions
Is AAC transcription free?
Yes. 60 free minutes every month on the Free plan, no credit card required.
What is the difference between AAC and M4A?
M4A is a container (like a zip file) that usually holds AAC audio. Both are accepted by ScriptNova.
Does AAC quality affect accuracy?
Higher bitrate AAC preserves more detail, but speech clarity matters more than bitrate for transcription accuracy.
How long are files kept?
Uploaded files are automatically deleted 72 hours after transcription.
