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 run a small news commentary channel and spent last Tuesday manually typing out a 14-minute BBC segment about the EU elections. Took me three hours, my wrist was cramping, and I still missed three timestamps. Now I just upload the MP4, grab coffee, and come back to a clean SRT file with proper line breaks. The other day I transcribed a CNN panel discussion at 2 AM for my morning upload—done in eight minutes, accents and all. Free to start, exports to SRT or VTT, and I don't have to beg some freelancer on Fiverr to meet a deadline.

FAQ

Common questions

Can it handle multiple speakers in a news panel or interview?+

Yes. It separates speakers automatically in the transcript, so your SRT shows 'Anchor:' and 'Correspondent:' clearly. I used it for a five-person Al Jazeera roundtable last week.

Does it work with live news clips I screen-recorded from YouTube?+

Absolutely. I drag in shaky 720p screen captures with banner ads at the bottom—it still pulls clean audio and gives me a VTT file synced to the original timing.

How accurate is it with fast-talking anchors and field reporters?+

Pretty solid. I transcribed a BBC breaking segment at 180 words per minute, only had to fix two names and one number. Way faster than my old workflow.

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 news video to srt?+

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