Convert video to text you can edit

VideoTranscriptGen turns spoken audio in a video into a timestamped transcript. Upload a supported file on the video transcript generator, choose the spoken language, and start the transcription. The result separates the recording into readable segments so you can find, copy, and revise the words without replaying the full timeline.

This workflow is useful when the text is the next working asset: an article draft, research notes, captions, meeting documentation, or a searchable record. Automated output is a first draft, so review names, numbers, specialist terms, and passages with overlapping speakers before publishing.

What you receive

  • Timestamped transcript segments
  • Speaker labels when the recording supports reliable separation
  • Editable text in the browser
  • TXT for writing and archiving
  • SRT for subtitle workflows

A reliable workflow

Use the clearest source file available. Speech close to the microphone, limited background music, and one person speaking at a time generally produce cleaner text. After processing, listen to uncertain passages, correct proper nouns, then export the format needed by your editor or publishing platform.

For format-specific preparation, see supported video and audio formats. If the source is audio-only, use the audio-to-text workflow.

Privacy and retention

Uploaded source media is scheduled for automatic deletion within 24 hours. Transcript text remains in your account until you delete it, subject to the terms explained in the Privacy Policy. Only upload recordings you have the right to process.
