Video to text subtitles included.
Drop a video file or paste a link. We extract the audio, transcribe it, and hand back both a readable transcript and frame-accurate SRT/VTT you can drop straight into Premiere, Resolve, Final Cut, or YouTube Studio.
What you get
Transcript and subtitles from one pass.
No audio extraction step
You don't need to pull a WAV out with ffmpeg first. Send the video — MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI — and we take the audio track from it. Paste a link and we don't even need the download.
Subtitles that land on frame
SRT and VTT cues start when the phrase starts, not a second late. That's the difference between subtitles you ship and subtitles you spend an evening nudging.
Caption files for every source
Interviews, panels, and two-hander podcasts come back split by speaker, so the transcript is usable as an edit script — you can find the moment by reading rather than by scrubbing.
Edit once, export everywhere
Fix a name or a technical term in the editor and every format inherits it. The DOCX for the blog post, the SRT for the upload, and the JSON for the pipeline all stay in sync.
Auto-captions vs a real pass
Platform auto-captions vs a transcript you can edit.
✗ Built-in auto-captions
Free and instant, and fine for accessibility on a talking-head clip. They stop being enough the moment you need the text somewhere else.
- No speaker labels
- Choppy segments, little punctuation
- Locked to that one platform
- No DOCX or JSON to reuse
- Weak on non-English audio

One job that produces both the readable transcript and the subtitle files.
- Timestamped, punctuated paragraphs

FAQ
Video transcription questions, answered.
Which video formats work?
MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, and most others. We take the audio track from the container, so the codec and resolution don't matter — a 4K file transcribes exactly like a 720p one.
Do I get subtitles as well as a transcript?
Both, from the same job. SRT and VTT come out timed to the speech, one cue per phrase; TXT and DOCX give you the readable version; JSON carries word-level timing when you ask for it.
Can I paste a link instead of uploading?
Yes — a YouTube URL or a direct media link. We fetch the audio server-side, which is much faster than downloading a large video just to upload it again.
How big can the video be?
10 hours or 5 GB per file. The opening minutes are a free preview; a pack from $4 transcribes the rest and opens exports. Files over 500 MB continue on the upload page. Long uploads keep processing after you close the tab, because the job runs on our side.
Will it label the speakers?
WhipScribe names the speakers in the summary, key quotes and chapters; every line carries its timestamp, which is what makes the transcript usable as an edit script.
