Convert an MP4 into a timestamped transcript online. Upload the file or paste a link, get editable text with automatic punctuation and sentence breaks, then export SRT, TXT or plain text — free to start, no install.
Manual translation, hired voice actors, days of waiting. Creators and teams lose time and money on every single video.
Skip the old workflowI have a folder of recorded interviews in MP4 and I need transcripts I can actually search and quote.
The recording is two hours long — will it survive the upload, or do I have to cut it into pieces first?
I need subtitles out of the same file, not just the text. Can one upload give me both?
Upload, pick languages, and let the AI handle the rest. No software to install.
A few clicks, that is all.

An MP4 is a container: the video track is what you see, but the words you need are in the audio track, and that is what gets transcribed. Upload the file (or paste a link and skip the download), and the transcript comes back with automatic sentence segmentation, punctuation and timestamps on every line — so you can jump from a line of text back to the exact moment it was said. Accuracy reaches up to 98% on clean audio; a noisy room, heavy background music or two people talking over each other will pull it down, and quiet speech near the end of a long recording is the usual weak spot. Files are processed for the task and cleared afterwards, not used for training. Export the result as SRT if you want subtitles, or as TXT and plain text for minutes, articles and repurposing. Costs 1 credit per minute of audio, with 20 credits free at sign-up — failed tasks are not charged.
Sentence breaks and punctuation are added automatically, and every line carries a timestamp — so the transcript doubles as a subtitle file and as a navigation map for the video.
Multi-hour recordings are segmented automatically and the timeline stays continuous across the whole file, with progress visible while it runs. Live mic recording is there too if the audio has not been recorded yet.
The same transcript can be exported as SRT, TXT or plain text, translated into 67+ languages, or sent on to dubbing — no need to run the audio through the tool twice.
Upload the MP4 (or paste a link to a video on YouTube, TikTok or 1000+ other sites), choose the spoken language, and start the task. You get a timestamped transcript with automatic punctuation that you can edit line by line before exporting. Transcription costs 1 credit per minute of audio, and signing up gives you 20 credits.
Up to 98% on clean audio — one speaker, low background noise, normal speaking pace. Accuracy drops with heavy background music, overlapping speakers, strong accents or muffled microphones. The editor lets you click any line to hear that moment again, so spot-checking the parts that matter takes seconds.
Multi-hour recordings are supported and segmented automatically, with the timeline continuous from start to finish. You do not need to split the file first. Progress is visible while the task runs, and finished tasks stay in your history for re-export.
Yes — the SRT export carries the same timeline, so one upload gives you both a readable transcript and a subtitle file that drops straight into Premiere, CapCut or Final Cut. You can also translate the result into 67+ languages and export a bilingual subtitle file.
Video: MOV, AVI, MKV and WebM. Audio: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC and FLAC. You can also record straight into the browser with the microphone instead of uploading a file, and multiple links can be queued to run one after another.
Files are used only for the task you started and cleared once it finishes. Content is not shared with third parties and is not used for training. Failed tasks are not charged, and you can re-run from your task history if you need a different export.
