One video, every format of text you need
A video transcript does more than one job. The same upload gives you readable text for notes and articles, SRT subtitles with accurate timing for your editor or player, and a searchable record of everything said — with each speaker labelled and every line timestamped back to the footage.
Format-wise, anything common works: MP4, MOV, AVI, WEBM and more, straight from a phone, camera, screen recorder or editing export. The audio track is extracted automatically — no conversion step, no separate audio file needed. Lectures, tutorials, webinars, interviews and footage in 97+ languages all transcribe the same way.
If your source is a YouTube link rather than a file, or audio-only, those have dedicated converters. And once the transcript exists, the AI can compress an hour of video into a summary, or answer questions about what's in it — often the fastest way to review footage you didn't record yourself.
