Convert video recording to text so your footage becomes searchable notes, quotes, and captions in minutes. Upload a file or paste a link — the system extracts the audio, restores punctuation and paragraphing, adds timestamps, and can separate speakers to speed up review for meetings, interviews, webinars, classes, and demos.

Why choose Speech2Text for video recordings

  • Precision on real-world audio (camera files, screen captures, conferencing exports, livestream archives).

  • Timestamps for fast navigation plus subtitle export (SRT/VTT) for captions and accessibility.

  • Speaker labels (diarization) to see who said what across panels and group meetings.

  • Word-ready output with proper casing and paragraphing to minimize cleanup.

  • Wide format support: MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, AVI, M4V — audio-only tracks supported too.

  • 90+ languages and accents for global teams, classrooms, research, and production.
