There are two ways in. To transcribe a video that's on your computer or phone, drop the file here. If it's on YouTube, TikTok or another site, paste the link instead and skip the file altogether. Either way, you get text to copy, or a TXT, SRT or VTT file to download.
Questions
How do I convert a video to text?
Drop the video file above, or paste its link. When the transcription finishes, copy the text or download it.
How do I transcribe a video?
Drop the video above, or paste its link, and the transcript appears on the page when it's ready. The spoken language is detected for you, so a video in Spanish, Hindi or Korean needs no setting, and you can copy the video transcript or download it as TXT, Word, PDF, SRT or VTT.
Which video files work?
MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and M4V, up to 90 minutes long.
Do I get timestamps?
Choose SRT or VTT when you download and every line keeps its time. Plain text leaves them out.
