Transcribe video and turn recordings into clear, searchable text you can scan, quote, and share. Upload a file or paste a shareable link — the system restores punctuation, adds timestamps, and can separate speakers so interviews, webinars, lectures, meetings, and tutorials become easy to review and export.

Why choose Speech2Text for video transcription

High accuracy on everyday footage (camera files, screen captures, conferencing exports) helps you move from “transcribe my video” to finished notes fast. Timecodes streamline editing and captioning; speaker labels show who said what in panels and interviews. Work across 90+ languages and accents, keep readable paragraphing for quick review, and export to the formats your team already uses.

How it works

  1. Add your video or link. Upload MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, AVI, M4V — or paste a shareable URL.

  2. Pick language & options. Enable timestamps and speaker labels if needed.

  3. Transcribe. The engine converts the soundtrack into structured text with punctuation and casing.

  4. Edit & export. Polish online and export DOCX (Word), TXT, SRT, or VTT.

What you can transcribe

From short clips to full-length recordings: webinars, courses, tutorials, interviews, podcasts with video, meetings, town halls, demos, and livestream archives. Use cases include documentation, accessibility captions, summarization, research, localization, and show notes.

Tips for best results

  • Upload the highest-quality source (avoid heavily compressed re-uploads).

  • Select the correct language/accent.

  • Enable diarization for multi-speaker sessions.

  • Add timestamps for long videos to jump to key sections quickly.
