FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about the free video to text converter.

Do I need to take the audio out of the video first?

No. Upload the video file itself and the speech is read from it.

Can it read text shown on the screen?

No, it transcribes speech only. On-screen text is not included.

What can I do before signing up?

Uploading and a preview of the first lines work without an account. The full transcript and caption file need a free sign-up, with a daily limit shown on the page.

Is it okay to transcribe any video?

Only upload videos you own or have permission to use. This tool does not accept links to other people's videos.

What can I do with the transcript afterwards?

Use it as captions, edit it into a script for the Video Agent, or have the video dubbed into another language.

Caption or Dub the Same Video
