The old way is slow and expensive

Manual translation, hired voice actors, days of waiting. Creators and teams lose time and money on every single video.

Skip the old workflow

Typing out hours of recordings by hand?

Missing key points because you cannot skim audio?

Paying per-minute for transcription services?

Getting messy transcripts without timestamps?

How It Works

Done in four simple steps

Upload, pick languages, and let the AI handle the rest. No software to install.

01

Upload audio or video

A few clicks, that is all.

02

Select the spoken language

A few clicks, that is all.

03

AI transcribes with timestamps

A few clicks, that is all.

04

Export text, SRT or editable script

A few clicks, that is all.

I record every lecture on my phone now. Last semester I tried typing notes during a 90-minute political science class and missed half of what the professor said about constitutional frameworks. Now I upload the audio after class, get a clean TXT file in about four minutes, and import it into Notion where I highlight the key arguments. The SRT option is clutch for my study group—I sync transcripts with the recordings so my friends can jump to specific timestamps when we're cramming at 2 AM. I don't pay anything for the basic plan, which handles my three weekly lectures fine.

FAQ

Common questions

Will this handle my professor's accent and fast talking?+

My statistics professor speaks at warp speed with a thick Glasgow accent. The tool still catches about 95% of his lectures. I clean up the remaining 5% in two minutes before saving.

Can I export timestamps for my study notes?+

VTT output gives me precise timestamps. I paste these into my Anki flashcards so clicking a timecode jumps straight to that moment in my recording.

How do I handle multiple lecturers in one course?+

I label files by lecturer name before uploading. The transcript keeps speakers separated, so I know whether the TA or professor covered each topic for my final review.

How accurate is the AI result?+

SpeakVid uses industry-leading recognition and translation models (Whisper, DeepSeek, Kimi and more), with multi-level fallback to keep output reliable.

How long does it take to transcribe college lectures to text?+

Most tasks finish in minutes. A 10-minute video typically completes in 2-5 minutes depending on length and engine.
