My university lectures come as MP4 recordings — 90 minutes each, forty per semester. I used to rewatch them at 2x speed taking notes, which meant I was basically transcribing by hand. Now every lecture goes through this MP4 to text converter the moment it's posted. I get a full transcript with timestamps in minutes. My notes are now just highlights on top of the transcript, and when the professor says 'this will be on the exam' at 01:12:34, I find it instantly.
Transcribes speech from any spoken language in your MP4 — no manual language pre-selection needed before upload.
Your TXT, SRT, and VTT files download cleanly — no branding, no forced attribution, no server-side overlays.
Watch real-time status as your MP4 processes — no app install, no email wait, no background task confusion.
Audio extraction and speech recognition happen securely on our servers — your MP4 never touches your browser’s memory.
Yes — it handles muffled audio and uneven volume common in phone recordings, though clarity improves with steady speech. Output is TXT, SRT, or VTT depending on your choice.
It detects dominant language automatically but works best when one language leads. Mixed-language clips may need light editing in the final TXT, SRT, or VTT file.
Most clips finish after a short pass — longer files take proportionally more time. You see progress live in the browser, then download TXT, SRT, or VTT immediately.
No — this tool transcribes all speech as continuous text without labeling speakers. For dialogue-heavy fight scenes or interviews, review the TXT, SRT, or VTT for accuracy.
