Video to text transcript

Translate video speech to text

Turn the speech in a video into a readable text transcript, then translate it into another language when you need to. Export the result as a plain-text transcript or a timed subtitle file, with or without timecodes, from one browser-based workflow.

What does video-to-text translation do?

A video-to-text translator first transcribes the spoken audio into timestamped sentences, then translates those sentences into a target language. You can use it purely as a speech-to-text tool (transcribe only) or as a full transcript translator, and export the result as SRT, VTT, TXT, ASS, DOCX, JSON or CSV. Text exports are also handy as the source for articles, course notes or searchable archives.
