    Amazing video to text converter, I am very impressed. Well done to the developers

    Kirtankumar Dhaya Lalabhai Sep 26, 2025

    nice job. I converted a video file into a text file. Converter.app did a nice job and converted it with about 99% accuracy.

    I am a student and interested in technology. It is true that I look for texts, videos, podcasts, among others, to improve my skills. Therefore, I need an application that can convert documents efficiently, quickly, and reliably. This application, in addition to fulfilling what it promises, within reasonable limits, is also completely free. And this is very impactful for me and many other people. It should be praised and shared. Congratulations to the editors.

    This is the 2nd time I am using this App. My church recorded meetings are converted with no hassle to Text. App is very easy to use. I would recommend it to others to use and recommend donations to those who can afford.

    Excellent tool to provide my students the right pair of audio and text! Sometimes We got just one of them and APP is just great in providing us with all we need to make a great job! Thanks for your great job!

    I have been looking for such a service for a long time and already doubted and today I was surprised at how easy and how quickly I got what I dreamed of. I uploaded two recordings one came out great the other a little worse but it's a matter of not the best recording quality.

    I use this service to convert / transcribe sermons. It is a true blessing in this service as it is highly accurate, even to the spelling of many of the Biblical names and places. For the most part I need only to re-format the document into paragraphs, etc, correct occasional errors where the speaker may not have enunciated distinctly, and put Scripture notations in the standard format of chapter COLON verse.

    Excellent converter app. Fast conversion. High accuracy.

    Lynn Sep 23, 2024

    Fantastic, accurate transcriptions.

    Christine Jun 10, 2024

    Excellent tool! 99.5% accuracy, less than a handful of misspells but I think it's because of the accent or the pronunciation. Very happy. Thank you very much!
