VIDEO to TEXT

Is this free? Any limits?

Yes. You can upload one video at a time. When it’s done, you can immediately start the next—no daily cap and no quotas. There’s no signup and no watermarks. Big files simply take longer to upload, so keep the tab open until you see the transcript.

What does this page do, in plain English?

It pulls the spoken words out of your video and turns them into an editable transcript you can copy, search, or share.

What is “Speaker Detection”?

When it’s on, the transcript is split by voice and labeled (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, …). When it’s off, you get one clean block of text without speaker labels.

When should I turn Speaker Detection ON?

Interviews, podcasts with a co-host, round-tables, client calls, team meetings—anything with more than one person talking. It makes skimming and quoting much faster.

When is it better OFF?

Single-speaker videos: screen recordings, lectures, tutorials, voiceovers. You’ll get a simpler transcript with fewer breaks and no labels.

Does it change accuracy or speed?

Words are transcribed the same either way. With detection on, we spend a little extra time separating who’s speaking. Short clips won’t notice much; long group calls can take a bit more.

Will it use real names?

No. You’ll see generic labels like “Speaker 1.” Rename them after download if you want “Alex,” “Host,” or “Guest.”

Any tips for cleaner transcripts?

Keep voices close to the mic, avoid loud background music, and try not to talk over each other. If two people overlap constantly, detection still works, but labels may switch mid-sentence.

What does the final file look like?

With detection on: short paragraphs under each speaker label. With it off: regular paragraphs without labels. Either way, it’s ready to paste into docs, notes, or email.

Which option should I pick if I’m not sure?

Ask yourself, “Is this mostly one person talking?” If yes, leave it off. If not, turn it on—you can always run a second pass the other way if you prefer the layout.
