Video recording to text turns raw footage into clear, searchable documents your team can scan, quote, and reuse. Upload a file or paste a shareable link — the system extracts the soundtrack, restores punctuation and paragraphing, adds timestamps, and can separate speakers to streamline review for interviews, meetings, webinars, and tutorials.

Why choose Speech2Text for video recordings

  • Accurate on real-world footage. Works with camera files, screen captures, conferencing exports, and livestream archives.

  • Timecodes & subtitle output. Enable timestamps for quick navigation; export SRT/VTT for captions or time-coded notes.

  • Speaker labels (diarization). See who spoke when and rename participants for clarity.

  • Word-ready formatting. Readable paragraphs with proper casing and punctuation; export DOCX/TXT for reports and archives.

  • Broad format support. MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, AVI, M4V — plus audio-only tracks if preferred.

  • 90+ languages. Reliable for global teams, research, and education.

How it works

  1. Add your video or link. Upload the file or paste a shareable URL.

  2. Choose language & options. Turn on timestamps and speaker labels if needed.

  3. Transcribe. The engine converts the audio track into structured text with clear paragraphing.

  4. Edit & export. Make quick fixes in the browser; export DOCX (Word), TXT, SRT, or VTT.
