Transcript + SRT/VTT · speaker labels · frame-accurate timing

Video to text subtitles included.

Drop a video file or paste a link. We extract the audio, transcribe it with speaker labels, 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

Word-level timing means SRT and VTT cues start when the word starts, not a second late. That's the difference between subtitles you ship and subtitles you spend an evening nudging.

Speaker labels for multi-cam

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

✓ A Whipscribe pass

One job that produces both the readable transcript and the subtitle files.

  • Speaker-labelled, punctuated paragraphs
  • Word-level cue timing
  • SRT and VTT for any editor
  • DOCX and JSON for reuse
  • 99+ languages auto-detected

Sample output

Speaker-labelled. Click-to-seek. Exportable.

A two-person recording as an edit script: read to the moment, click to jump the video there.

HOST 00:12:33 Okay, this is the bit I want to pull as a clip — say that line again the way you said it before.
GUEST 00:12:39 That the expensive part was never the model. It was everything we had to build around the model.
HOST 00:12:47 That's the one. That's the whole episode in a sentence.
GUEST 00:12:51 Took us eighteen months to be able to say it that briefly.

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 word-level-timed for editors and players; TXT and DOCX give you the readable version; JSON carries the full timing data.

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?

5 GB and 12 hours per file through the web UI. Long uploads keep processing after you close the tab, because the job runs on our side.

Will it label the speakers?

Yes. Diarization runs on every job, so a panel or interview comes back as separate labelled turns — which is what makes the transcript usable as an edit script.
