How it works

Long video, one transcript, captions included.

The same job gives you readable text and caption files.

1

Shrink it if it is big

For a multi-gigabyte video, extract the audio first. It uploads much faster and keeps the video’s timeline.

2

Upload

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.

3

Export what you need

SRT or VTT to caption the video, DOCX or TXT for notes, JSON for your own tools. Every format is included.

Extract audio first

The fastest way to upload a big video.

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.

  1. Open the free extract audio from video tool and save the soundtrack.
  2. Upload the audio file here instead of the video.
  3. Download SRT or VTT and add it to the original video. The audio starts and ends with the video, so the caption timing still matches.

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

Long video, put to use.

Course captures

Caption recorded lessons with VTT for the course platform and give students a searchable transcript of every session.

Stream VODs

Turn a multi-hour broadcast recording into text so you can find clip-worthy moments by timestamp instead of scrubbing.

Conference sessions

A full track of talks and panels, with speaker labels to keep presenters and questions apart, ready to publish or quote.

Internal video archives

All-hands recordings, trainings and demos kept in one searchable library instead of a folder nobody rewatches.

FAQ

Long video transcription, answered.

How long can a video be?

Up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file. The box on this page takes up to 500 MB; larger files continue on the upload page.

Should I upload the video or just the audio?

For big files, upload the audio. Extract it with the free extract audio from video tool; the file is much smaller and uploads faster, and caption timing still matches the video.

Can I get captions for a long video?

Yes. Every transcript exports as SRT and VTT, timed from word-level timestamps, as well as TXT, DOCX and JSON.

Is it free?

Your first transcript is free and readable in full, at any length, and anyone can preview with no signup. Longer videos need credits.

How much does a 4-hour stream VOD cost?

240 minutes: $1.92 of the $8 pack, $1.44 at the $12 pack rate or $1.15 at the $24 pack rate.

How long does transcription take?

Typically a few minutes for an hour of audio, so a long video takes longer. The finished transcript is kept in your searchable library.

My video is over 10 hours. What now?

Split it into parts of 10 hours or less and transcribe each part. For a large collection, see bulk transcription.
