How to transcribe video to text online

Video to text converts spoken audio in a video into an editable, timestamped transcript. Video Describer AI performs speech recognition locally in the browser for short videos up to 50 MB and two minutes.

How do I transcribe a video to text?

Choose a video, select its spoken language or automatic detection, and generate subtitles. The transcript stays synchronized with video playback and can be exported as SRT or VTT.

Can I transcribe video to text free?

Speech recognition runs locally with Whisper Tiny, so extracting the initial transcript does not require a cloud transcription request. Browser performance varies by device.

Can I turn video audio into a transcript?

Yes. The browser extracts a mono audio track from the video and converts the speech into timestamped text. You can also use the audio extractor when you need a separate audio file.

Can I add text or subtitles to a video?

Yes. After transcription or translation, export a subtitled video with the selected subtitle track burned into the picture. This tool does not remove existing text or watermarks from footage.
