Transcribe sports commentary for the whole match.
A full match with build-up, half-time and the post-match chat easily runs two to three hours. Drop the commentary recording or paste the stream link below: the commentators' words come back as one transcript in about 6 minutes, and the crowd stays out of it. The first 20 minutes are free and packs start at $6.
For the full ninety, and the rest
The commentary, without the stadium.
Speech in, noise out
Commentary is recorded over a roaring crowd, horns and a stadium announcer. Crowd noise, chants and music are not transcribed; the commentators' speech is. A goal call shouted over a wall of sound may lose a word, so check the big moments against the audio.
Every moment on the match clock
Timestamps run from the start of your recording, so the line about the penalty sits at the minute it was said in the broadcast file. Key quotes and chapters mark the moments worth finding again: the opener, the red card, the late equaliser.
Stream, VOD or file
A Twitch or Kick VOD, a YouTube upload or a Google Drive share link can be pasted straight in. A match recorded off air as a video file is fine too; the box here takes the smaller ones and the upload page takes files up to 5 GB.
A season of commentary
A 3-hour broadcast is 180 minutes, inside the $6 pack (500 minutes). Twenty matches at 2.5 hours each is 3,000 minutes, so the $24 pack (5,000 minutes) carries a whole half-season, and the remaining minutes keep.
After the final whistle
Writing up a match from the commentary.
✗ Rewinding the broadcast
You need the exact call on the winning goal and the pundit's line at half-time, and all you have is a three-hour video.
- Dragging back and forth to find a two-second call
- Quoting commentators from memory
- No text for the match report or archive
- Captions missing on the replay you post
- Half-time analysis lost in a long file
- Every match handled by rewatching it
✓ Reading the commentary
The whole broadcast is text on the recording's clock, so the call, the analysis and the post-match quotes are a search away.
- The goal call, word for word, with its time
- Chapters for build-up, halves and post-match
- Commentators and pundits named in the summary and quotes
- Names and numbers said, listed for the report
- SRT or VTT to caption the replay
- Matches searchable side by side across a season

FAQ
Sports commentary transcription, answered.
How long does a full match take to transcribe?
About five or six minutes for a 2.5 to 3-hour broadcast, at roughly 2 minutes per hour. With a VOD or Drive link there is no upload first.
What does a match, or a season, cost?
One match of three hours is 180 minutes, covered by the $6 pack (500 minutes). Ten matches of 2.5 hours is 1,500 minutes, inside the $12 pack (2,000 minutes). A season of forty is 6,000 minutes, so two $24 packs (5,000 minutes each) cover it.
How big can a match recording be?
A match file may be up to 10 hours or 5 GB. Before the first pack, uploads stop at 2 GB; a heavier broadcast file starts once a pack is on the account.
A tournament day runs ten hours across several games. Do I split it?
Up to 10 hours goes in as one file and comes back on one clock. Past that, send it as two files; splitting at the end of a game keeps each transcript tidy.
Can it handle commentary in Spanish or Portuguese?
Yes, along with 97 other languages. The language is detected automatically for each recording.
What can I export, and what happens to the recording?
SRT and VTT for captions on a replay, TXT and DOCX for the match report, JSON for a data pipeline. Your recordings stay private to you: recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
