Nothing is stored
Audio is processed in memory to generate your transcript and then discarded. Your recordings stay yours.
Screen recordings, meetings, raw footage
The MP4s that need transcribing are rarely on YouTube: a Zoom recording with decisions buried at minute 43, a screen demo you need to document, interview footage before the edit, a lecture download from your LMS. Upload the file and turn an hour of video into text you can search, quote and file away.
The audio track is decoded right in your browser — the whole video never leaves your machine as-is, only the audio is transcribed, and nothing is stored afterwards.
Subtitles for your edit
Editing the footage afterwards? Export SRT or VTT with sentence-level timestamps and drop the file into Premiere, DaVinci, CapCut or Final Cut — burned-in captions without typing a word yourself.
Links work too
If the video is already online, skip the download: paste a YouTube, Instagram or TikTok link into the video to text converter. Audio-only files convert through MP3 to text.
