Save your ScreenPal recording as a video file and drop the MP4 here. The lesson or tutorial comes back as a transcript, a chaptered summary and caption files in the language you taught it in.
The file you have
There is no link to paste for this one. Get the file onto your phone or computer first, then upload it in the box above.
How it works

Good to know
What comes back
The same four things for every ScreenPal recording, whatever its length.
Every line carries its time. Click a line to hear that second again, or search a name or phrase and jump to each place it was said.
A brief with the takeaways, chapters with their start times, and the quotes worth keeping. Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.
Ask where a topic came up or what was decided, and get the answer with the time it was said, instead of scrolling the whole text.
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, JSON from the same transcript: a document to edit, caption files for video, plain text to paste, structured data for your own tools.
