## Turn a file into a note

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open file upload">
    Where you start depends on your platform.

    * **Web and desktop app**: In a new note, choose the **\[File Upload]** menu.
    * **Mobile app**: On the new note screen, choose the **\[Audio File]** mode.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a file or drag and drop">
    Click **\[Select File]** to pick a file, or drag one into the upload area. You can also paste a Google Drive link to upload. See [Upload from a Google Drive link](#upload-from-a-google-drive-link) below.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the recording language, speaker count, and context">
    * **\[Recording Language]**: The language your transcript and summary are written in. Tiro detects the spoken language automatically.
    * **\[Number of Speakers]**: Enter the number of people in the conversation if you know it, or leave it on auto-detect.
    * **Context**: Tell Tiro about the situation and any proper nouns to improve conversion accuracy.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Convert">
    Click **\[Convert]** to start the upload and conversion. The screen shows the estimated processing time and progress stage. When it finishes, Tiro creates a Note, a transcript, and a one-page document.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Supported formats and limits

* **File formats**: MP3, MP4, M4A, AAC, WAV, FLAC, OGG, OPUS, WebM, MOV, MP2, PCM
* **Size and length**: up to 1GB and 5 hours per file
* You can upload one file at a time.

When you upload a video file (MP4, MOV, and so on), Tiro extracts the audio and converts only that. You can upload a meeting recording as is.

## Upload from a Google Drive link

Paste a link in the form `https://drive.google.com/file/d/...` into the field, and Tiro fetches the file and converts it.

* Link upload currently supports Google Drive only.
* The file's sharing permission must be open so the link can be accessed. If the permission is closed, Tiro can't fetch it.

## When an upload fails

1. A file over 1GB or longer than 5 hours won't upload. Split the file or convert it to a more compressed format (MP3, M4A) and try again.
2. If you see a message that the format isn't supported, check the list above and convert to MP3 if you can.
3. If uploads keep failing on a corporate network, a firewall may be blocking them. Connect to a different network, such as a mobile hotspot, and try again.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do video files get converted?

Yes. When you upload a video file like MP4 or MOV, Tiro extracts the audio and converts it to text.

### Does it separate speakers? <PlanBadge lang="en" plan="pro" />

Yes, speaker separation is available on the Pro plan and above. If you know the number of speakers, enter it in the **\[Number of Speakers]** field for better results. For details, see [Speaker Diarization](/en/guide/recording/diarization).

### How long does conversion take?

It depends on the file length. When you select a file, the screen shows the estimated processing time, and during conversion you see the progress stage by stage.

### Can I upload call recording files?

Yes. Any recording converts as long as it meets the format and size requirements. If you're an Android (Galaxy) user, [Call Recording](/en/guide/recording/call-recording), which automatically detects and converts your call recordings, is more convenient.
