Transcribe a long Canon PowerShot V10 recording from the camera's card or the channel it was posted to.
A 2-hour talking-head recording from a Canon PowerShot V10 comes back as text in about 4 minutes, whether you upload the clip, an audio export or paste the YouTube link it was posted to, up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.
Pocket camera, long monologue
The V10 is built for someone talking to the lens for a long time. The words are what you want back.
Where the clip usually sits
The V10 writes to a microSD card, and its video files are usually MP4s inside the DCIM folder; if yours look different, check the movie settings in the camera's menu. Copy the clip to your computer with a card reader rather than over a wireless app when it is long, since a multi-gigabyte file moves faster over a cable.
Size before you send
Video size is bitrate times length. A clip recorded near 40 Mbps grows by about 18 GB an hour, so a 2-hour take could reach 36 GB, far past the 5 GB per-file limit. Exporting just the sound as a 128 kbps MP3 makes the same take about 115 MB, small enough for the box on this page, which takes files up to 500 MB; anything bigger continues on upload page.
Already posted to YouTube
Many V10 owners record a long vlog, livestream replay or lesson and publish it straight away. If the video is on YouTube or Vimeo, skip the card entirely and paste the link; the audio is fetched for you and nothing has to be uploaded from your laptop.
What a long take turns into
You get a brief with the thesis and takeaways, chapters with timestamps, the names, numbers and dates you mentioned, and the questions the recording answers. A chat over the transcript lets you ask where you explained a point. Speakers are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters when a guest joins you on camera.
Vlog footage elsewhere
Long vlog takes are easy to shoot and slow to turn into captions, show notes or a blog post.

FAQ
Canon PowerShot V10 recordings, answered.
How long does a 2-hour V10 recording take to transcribe?
About 4 minutes, since processing runs at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. The public proof page shows a 9.31-hour file finished in 1,033 seconds.
What does a month of V10 videos cost?
Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes. Packs are one-time and the credits never expire.
Can I upload the MP4 straight from the card?
Yes, if it is 5 GB or smaller, with or without a pack. A long V10 take is often larger than that, so export the audio or a lighter 720p copy; the speech in it is the same.
My recording stopped and restarted. Is that a problem?
Compact cameras can split a long recording into several files or stop when they get warm; check the manual for how your V10 handles a long take. Upload each file, or join them in an editor first if you want one set of timestamps.
What if the recording runs past 10 hours?
Upload it as two files split at a natural pause. Anything up to 10 hours or 5 GB is transcribed as a single file.
Which languages and exports, and is it private?
99 languages are detected automatically, and you can download TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. WhipScribe has no integration with the camera or Canon's apps; you bring the file or the link.
