How it works
The same job gives you readable text and caption files.
For a multi-gigabyte video, extract the audio first. It uploads much faster and keeps the video’s timeline.
Up to 500 MB in the box above; larger files continue on the upload page, up to 10 hours or 5 GB. Transcription is typically a few minutes for an hour of audio.
SRT or VTT to caption the video, DOCX or TXT for notes, JSON for your own tools. Every format is included.
Extract audio first
A transcript only needs what is said, but the picture is most of a video’s file size. A few hours of screen recording or camera footage can reach several gigabytes, while the same speech saved as a 128 kbps MP3 is about 58 MB per hour.
Extracting also helps when a video is over the 5 GB limit but under 10 hours. Recordings longer than 10 hours need splitting into parts; for many recordings at once, see bulk transcription.
What people transcribe
Caption recorded lessons with VTT for the course platform and give students a searchable transcript of every session.
Turn a multi-hour broadcast recording into text so you can find clip-worthy moments by timestamp instead of scrubbing.
A full track of talks and panels, with speaker labels to keep presenters and questions apart, ready to publish or quote.
All-hands recordings, trainings and demos kept in one searchable library instead of a folder nobody rewatches.
