Transcribe video to text

Turn the speech in a video or audio file into text and subtitles (SRT or VTT). The AI runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

How do I transcribe a video to text?

Add a video or audio file, choose the language (or let it detect it) and press Transcribe. OpenAI's Whisper speech model listens to the recording and writes out what's said, with a timestamp for every sentence. Copy the text, download it as a TXT file, or download SRT or VTT subtitles for YouTube, social media and video players.

Whisper runs inside your browser, so your recording is never uploaded. The model downloads the first time you use the tool (about 40 MB for Fast, 80 MB for Accurate) and is then kept by your browser. You can also translate the speech straight into English.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. There are no minutes to buy and no sign-up, because the speech model runs on your own device.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The audio is turned into text in your browser. Only the speech model itself downloads the first time (about 40–80 MB), and then it's cached.

Which languages work?

Around 100 languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Indonesian, Hindi, Arabic and Chinese. Pick the language for the best result, or let it detect it.

How accurate is it?

Clear speech with little background noise comes out very well. Choose Accurate for accents, several speakers or noisy recordings, and check names and numbers before using the text.

How do I add the subtitles to a video?

Download the SRT file and upload it with your video on YouTube, Facebook or LinkedIn, or load it in a video player such as VLC. Most editors, including CapCut and Premiere, import SRT too.

How long can the recording be?

Up to 60 minutes. Long files take a while on phones; a computer is much faster.
