Video to Text writes down what is said in a video — an interview, a lecture, a meeting recording, a voice message — as plain text you can search, quote, edit or summarise. Audio files work as well as videos.
The sound track is extracted in your browser first, and only the audio goes to a speech-recognition model in the cloud. You get one continuous text without timestamps or speaker names; if you need timed lines for captions, use Auto-Subtitle instead. The tool needs an account and uses AI credits — currently 1 per run, from the 30 a free account receives each month.
How to use
Sign in and add the video or audio file.
Run it — the audio is pulled out on your device, then transcribed.
Copy or download the text, and check names, numbers and technical terms against the recording.
FAQ
Does the transcript show who is speaking, or when?
No. You get the spoken words as one plain text, without speaker labels or timestamps. For timed lines, Auto-Subtitle produces an SRT file.
Which languages are recognised?
The language is detected automatically, and most major languages — English, German, Persian, Arabic, French and many more — are supported. The text stays in the spoken language; it is not translated.
How accurate is it, and how long can the recording be?
Clear speech with little background noise is transcribed very well; music, people talking over each other and strong accents cause mistakes. The audio has to fit in one request of about 25 MB — roughly a quarter of an hour of video — so split longer recordings with Trim Video.
What happens to my video?
Normally only the extracted audio leaves your device, over an encrypted connection to the speech-recognition provider; the picture stays in your browser. Credits for a failed run are refunded automatically.
