AAC files and where you meet them
AAC is the audio codec behind a large share of phone recordings, streaming audio and dictation apps. Most of the time it arrives wrapped in an .m4a file, but some call recorders, broadcast tools and older phones write it as a bare .aac stream. Both upload here, so you do not need to rename or convert anything.
Because AAC is compressed, a recording that runs for hours still takes little space. Even a recording close to the 5 h length limit usually stays well under 512 MB, so the length limit is the one to watch.
Some dictation apps record at a low bitrate to save space on the phone. Speech usually survives that well, but if the recording sounds muffled when you play it back, the transcript will struggle with the same words. In that case, switch the app to its standard quality setting before your next recording. A quiet room and a phone held close to your mouth help more than any setting.

Questions
What is the difference between AAC and M4A?
AAC is the compressed audio itself, and M4A is a common file wrapper for it. An .aac file holds the audio with almost nothing around it. Either one uploads here and gives the same transcript.
How long can an AAC recording be?
Up to 5 h per file, and up to 512 MB. AAC is compact, so long recordings rarely reach the size limit. On the free plan you read the first 15 min of each transcript.
Where do .aac files come from?
Call recorders, some Android voice recorders, broadcast and podcast tools, and audio saved from streams. If an app offers M4A or AAC as an export choice, either works, because both hold the same kind of audio.
Can I transcribe AAC files for free?
You can start free. Your account has 6 h of transcription in total, and each file uses hours equal to its length. Sync Pro unlocks full transcripts and 50 h of uploads a month.
