Video to Text Converter FAQs
How can I convert video to text online for free?+
Sign in to use 30 free transcription minutes per month, with a maximum of 15 minutes per recording. Upload a video or paste a public link, choose the language, then review and export the transcript. Longer recordings and higher monthly usage require a suitable paid plan.
How do I convert MP3 audio or MP4 video to text?+
Choose Audio for an MP3 recording or Video for an MP4 file, then upload the original media. AI transcribes its spoken audio. Review the words and export TXT for plain text, or SRT and VTT for timed captions; an existing subtitle track is not required.
Which video formats are supported?+
The uploader accepts common formats including MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM, MKV, and AVI, plus MP3, WAV, and M4A audio files.
Can the transcript identify different speakers?+
Automatic speaker separation is not currently available. The current workflow is best suited to single-speaker recordings; review speaker changes manually in interviews.
Can I transcribe a YouTube video from a link?+
Yes. Choose Paste Link and enter a public YouTube video URL. The link importer also recognizes public TikTok, Instagram, Google Drive, Dropbox, and direct media URLs. Private or password-protected links cannot be imported.
Can I transcribe a Zoom or online meeting recording?+
Yes. Export the Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams recording as a supported video or audio file, then upload it. This workflow processes saved recordings rather than joining or recording a live meeting.
How many transcription languages are supported?+
The language selector includes more than 100 languages. You can use automatic detection or choose the source language yourself, which is useful for multilingual interviews, lessons, and international videos.
How accurate is video transcription with accents or background noise?+
Accuracy depends on the recording, language, accent, overlapping speakers, and model connected to the service. Clear voices, low background noise, and the correct source language usually produce the best result, and every transcript should be reviewed before publication.
How large can each uploaded video be?+
The current uploader accepts files up to 5 GB and can queue up to 20 tasks. Actual upload and transcription time depends on file size, network speed, queue load, and the transcription backend.
Is my uploaded video private?+
Uploaded recordings use private storage. Sign in to access your results; playback uses a temporary link. See our privacy policy for data handling and contact us with deletion requests.
What file can I download after transcription?+
Export TXT for a plain transcript, or SRT and VTT for subtitles. Adjust text and timing before downloading. DOCX and translated subtitles are not currently available.
