What you get when you turn video into text
Every common video format
MP4, MOV and most other video files work. You do not need to extract the audio yourself first.
Timestamped transcript
Each segment is tied to a time in the video, so you can find a quote, clip a moment or build chapters quickly.
Subtitles from the same file
On the paid plan the same transcript also exports as SRT or VTT, ready for video editors and players.
Meetings, lectures and interviews
Turn recorded calls, webinars, classes and interviews into searchable notes instead of rewatching the whole recording.
Links as well as files
Skip the download: paste a link to an online video and we fetch the audio for you.
Multiple languages
Transcribe speech in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Urdu, Russian and Ukrainian.
