Windows has two built-in screen recorders and both save plain MP4 files. Drop the MP4 here and the meeting, lesson or walkthrough you captured comes back as a timestamped transcript with a summary.

Good to know
What comes back
The same four things for every Windows screen 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.

FAQ
Xbox Game Bar saves to Videos\Captures. Snipping Tool saves to Videos\Screen Recordings when you press Save. Both are MP4 files.
Find the MP4 in one of those folders and drop it in the box on this page. The speech in it is transcribed with timestamps.
System sound is captured automatically, the microphone is not. Turn it on with Win+Alt+M in Game Bar, or the microphone icon in Snipping Tool, before recording.
The preview and the summary are free. A pack opens the full transcript: $4 for 500 minutes, $8 for 1,000 minutes, $12 for 2,000 minutes, $24 for 5,000 minutes. Packs are one-time, credits never expire, and Workspace is $19 a month if you transcribe every week.
One file can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB. The box on this page takes files up to 500 MB; a larger file continues on the main upload page, which uploads it in parts. Most recordings come back in about two minutes per hour of audio.
Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. You can delete a recording and its transcript at any time.
