Video to text

Transcribe a local video and export the text as TXT or SRT.

Open a recording in the editor, start a transcript, then download plain text or SubRip captions. Starting a transcript uploads the audio for speech recognition. The video file stays on your device. Slide extraction, when you use it, still runs in the browser with no upload.

1. Open the video

Choose a local file your browser can play. Sign in — transcripts need an account. Drop the file here to open the shared editor.

You can extract slides first if you want pages beside the transcript. That step stays on device.

2. Start the transcript

Confirm length and cost before the job begins. Free trials apply first. Only the audio soundtrack is uploaded for transcription.

When it finishes, read the transcript in its tab. Fix small errors if you need exact wording, then export.

3. Export TXT or SRT

TXT is paragraphs of spoken text, with optional timestamps. SRT is one timed cue per segment for players and editors that read SubRip.

If you also want a chapter handout with notes on each page, start Spoken notes from the same editor instead of — or after — the transcript.

Privacy: what leaves the device

A transcript job uploads audio for recognition. The full video file is not uploaded.

Slide extraction never uploads the video. Spoken notes additionally uploads page images when pages exist, and sends the transcript plus those images to write the handout — that is a separate action from transcript-only.

How much does a transcript cost?
Transcripts share the same credit and free-trial rules as Spoken notes: 3 free completed runs (each up to 30 minutes and 60 pages when pages are present), then max(audio minutes, page count) × $0.01 on success. Failures do not charge.
Does the audio leave my device?
Yes, when you start a transcript. Only the audio needed for recognition is uploaded. The video file stays in the browser.
Can I export captions for a player?
Yes. Export SRT for SubRip captions, or TXT if you want plain paragraphs.
Is this the same as Spoken notes?
No. A transcript is the spoken wording. Spoken notes writes a chapter handout from the talk and, when pages exist, the page images. You can run either or both from the editor.
Do I need slides on screen?
No. A talking-head or audio-heavy recording can still be transcribed. Without slides you will not get per-page notes unless you start Spoken notes on a deck that has pages.
