Video transcription turns your recordings into clean, searchable text you can scan, quote, and share. Upload a video or paste a shareable link — the system restores punctuation, adds timestamps, and can separate speakers so interviews, webinars, lectures, meetings, podcasts, and tutorials become easy to review and export.

Why choose Speech2Text for video transcription

  • AI accuracy on everyday recordings — works with conferencing exports, screen captures, camera files, and livestream archives.

  • Timecodes for navigation and captions — jump to key moments and export SRT/VTT for subtitles.

  • Speaker labels (diarization) — see who said what in panels, interviews, and multi-speaker sessions.

  • Word-ready formatting — readable paragraphs with casing and punctuation restored.
