What else can Speech2Text do?

Upload MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, AVI, M4V — the audio track is extracted automatically for transcription.

Distinguish speakers

Automatic diarization separates voices so you can see who said what in panels, interviews, and meetings.

Add timecodes

Download transcripts with timestamps to jump between sections, prepare SRT/VTT, and keep accurate references.

Handle noise and accents

The engine is tuned for real-world audio — conference rooms, classrooms, screen recordings, and livestreams.

Make text readable

Proper casing, punctuation, and paragraphing produce a document that’s ready to skim, edit, and share.

Work from links as well as files

Paste a shareable URL when uploading isn’t convenient; hosted media is processed in the browser.

Export for any workflow

Create captions (SRT/VTT), send notes to Word (DOCX), or keep a lightweight TXT archive for research.

Scale to long sessions
