Tools Fast Group today launched bulk AI audio transcription on Convert.FAST, a tool that transcribes audio files faster than most converters take just to change formats.

Using Groq’s GroqCloud inference platform and OpenAI’s Whisper V3 large model, Convert.FAST processes a 60-minute audio file in approximately 30 seconds. Users can batch up to 1,000 files simultaneously and receive transcripts as Word documents, PDFs, subtitles, or plain text.

“AI capabilities have been impressive for years, but speed has always been the bottleneck,” said Stewart Celani, founder of Tools Fast Group. “Groq makes AI practical for real workloads. We’re putting that in people’s hands — 60 minutes free every day, no signup required.”

Beyond Raw Transcription

Convert.FAST doesn’t just output raw text. Each transcript is post-processed using machine learning to produce naturally flowing text with proper paragraph segmentation — ready to use without manual cleanup.

About GroqCloud

Groq builds inference infrastructure for real-time AI. The company developed the Language Processing Unit (LPU) — purpose-built hardware delivering AI inference with dramatically lower latency than GPU-based systems. The platform serves over 2.8 million developers and leading Fortune 500 enterprises. In December 2025, Nvidia entered a licensing agreement with Groq, reportedly valued at over $20 billion.
