MP4 transcription

MP4 to text, with a transcript you can actually use

Upload a MP4 file for video interviews, Zoom recordings and your own video exports and get a timestamped transcript, a summary and subtitle files. Nothing needs to be installed, and you can start with the free daily allowance.

MP4 is a video container; only the audio track is transcribed. Only upload video you own or have permission to process.

Summary, quotes and actions

Ask for key quotes, action items or show notes instead of a generic recap.

Subtitles included
