How to transcribe a video to text
Drop your video above (MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV…).
Pick the spoken language, then click Transcribe.
Read the text, copy it or download it as .txt; SRT and VTT subtitles are available too.
How it works
- Nothing leaves your device
- Whisper speech recognition runs in your browser. The model is downloaded once from our server, then cached.
- SRT, VTT or text
- SRT for editing software, YouTube and video players; VTT for the web; plain text in paragraphs for notes and minutes.
- Easy proofreading
- Fix each subtitle in a table while the video plays alongside. Adjust timings, shift everything at once, change the line length.
- For best results
- Pick the right language rather than automatic detection, and the Accurate model for noisy audio or several speakers. Seven languages are supported.
