Turn an MP4 video into text you can read, search and edit: a recorded call, a lecture, an interview or a screen recording.

Good to know

  • Only the audio is sentOnly the audio goes up. Your browser copies the audio track out of the video first, without re-encoding it, so a 2 GB phone video usually sends 30–60 MB. If it can't (an unusual format, or no audio track), the whole file is uploaded instead.
  • Long videosFiles up to 10 hours or 5 GB. A file over 30 minutes is still transcribed in full; on the free plan you read the first 30 minutes until you upgrade.
  • Subtitles tooThe same transcript downloads as SRT or VTT subtitles for the video.

Questions, answered

Does my whole MP4 get uploaded?

Usually not. Your browser copies the audio track out of the MP4 and uploads only that. If it can't, it uploads the whole file.

How long can the MP4 be?

Up to 10 hours or 5 GB. The free plan transcribes the whole file and shows the first 30 minutes.

Can I get subtitles for the MP4?

Yes. Download the transcript as SRT or VTT and add it to the video in your editor or player.

How do the 3 free transcriptions work?

Upload any 3 files, with no credit card. Each one is transcribed in full, with speakers and timestamps, and you see the first 30 minutes. Shorter files you get whole.

Is my audio private?

Your files are private to your account and encrypted when they're sent and stored. You can delete a file, or your whole account, at any time.
