The full transcript, with timestamps
Notes compress; a transcript keeps everything. This is the word-for-word text of the recording, laid out in the order it was spoken, with optional [mm:ss] marks and an .srt export for subtitles. It comes from the audio, so the video file itself stays on your device while the recognition runs.
Sign in to start. Starting a run uploads the audio for recognition; the video file stays on your device.
The transcript tab in the editor: segments in order, each editable, ready to export as .txt or .srt.
- Word-for-word text
- TXT with [mm:ss], or SRT
- Audio uploads, the video file does not
How to get the transcript
Open the recording
Drop the file into the converter. The audio track is read locally and prepared for recognition.
Start the run and sign in
Transcription runs for a signed-in account. The audio uploads first, so the text starts arriving while the rest of the job finishes.
Export TXT or SRT
Download the transcript as .txt, with optional [mm:ss] timestamps per paragraph, or as .srt with one cue per segment. Exporting costs nothing extra.
What the transcript is
- It is the spoken text as recognized. Speaker names are not labeled, and cross-talk may run together.
- The transcript covers what was said. Page images play no part in it, and slide text is not merged in.
- Sign-in is required, and the run is charged only when it finishes.
Pricing
- Transcript-only runs cost about half a cent per started minute: a 61-minute recording comes to 31 cents.
- A Spoken notes run costs $0.01 per started audio minute and includes the full transcript, so a run you wanted notes from gives you the transcript too.
- TXT and SRT exports are free after the run. 3 free completed runs per account, each up to 30 minutes and 60 pages.
- Prices include tax.
Questions
- How much does a transcript-only run cost?
- About half a cent per started minute, in whole cents: 30 minutes cost 15 cents, 61 minutes cost 31 cents. It is charged from the credit balance only when the run finishes.
- When is the notes run the better deal?
- When you want the chaptered handout too. It costs $0.01 per started audio minute and includes the transcript, so paying twice for the same words makes no sense.
- What gets uploaded?
- The audio, for recognition. The video file stays on your device; slide extraction, when you also run it, never uploads anything.
- Can the timestamps be turned off?
- Yes. The .txt export offers [mm:ss] marks per paragraph as an option, and the .srt export is cue-per-segment by nature.
- How is this different from the video-to-text tool page?
- /tools/video-to-text is the tool page with the file intake. This page explains the two ways the transcript is billed and what each one includes.
- Do I need an account?
- Yes. Transcription runs for a signed-in account, and the charge lands only when the run completes.
