MP4 to Text — transcribe the video on your disk.
Zoom recording, screen capture, downloaded video? Drop the MP4 here. We pull the audio track out of the video and transcribe it with Whisper Large v3 Turbo — you don't have to extract the audio yourself. MOV files work exactly the same way.
Every MP4 to text without extracting audio.
Upload the video, get accurate paragraph text back. Zoom recordings, screen captures, and downloaded MP4s all run through the same pipeline — MOV included.
From MP4 to transcript in three steps.
Choose the video, let us transcribe the audio track, then export or translate. Transcription costs 10 credits per audio-hour on Plus and Pro plans.
Drag the video onto the box above, or click to browse. MP4 and MOV both work, up to 500MB and six hours — no need to extract the audio first.
We pull the audio out of the video and Whisper Large v3 Turbo transcribes it. Long recordings are split into overlapping segments, processed in parallel, and stitched into one transcript. Costs 10 credits per audio-hour.
Copy the text, export frame-accurate SRT/VTT for captions, translate to 40 languages, or turn it into minutes or a blog post — no re-upload.
More than an MP4 transcriber.
Every transcript can be summarized, translated, repurposed, or exported — one upload, many directions out.
Built for meeting notes and course captions.
How to convert an MP4 to text.
MP4 is where most screen and meeting recordings land — Zoom exports, screen captures, downloaded videos. Upload the video and we transcribe its audio track, so you get accurate paragraph text without touching a converter. MP4-to-text transcription is a Plus and Pro feature at 10 credits per audio-hour.
We extract the audio for you
You don't need to pull the audio out of your MP4 or convert it to MP3 first. Upload the whole video and we decode the audio track and transcribe that. MOV files from a phone or a Mac screen recording work the same way — drop them in as-is.
Meeting and webinar length, no timeout
A one-hour Zoom recording or a long webinar export would time out most browser tools. We accept video files up to 500MB and six hours, split the audio into overlapping chunks, transcribe in parallel, and re-stitch so nothing drops at the seams.
Frame-accurate captions
Because every line is timecoded, the SRT and VTT you export line up with the video precisely — ready to burn in as captions or load into your editor. Toggle timestamps off for a clean read you can paste into minutes or notes.
Accurate on multi-speaker calls
Whisper Large v3 Turbo handles the crosstalk, mic differences, and background noise typical of recorded calls and screen shares. Output comes back as punctuated sentences you can read on the first pass rather than clean up line by line.
Your video is deleted after processing
The uploaded MP4 is used to make your transcript and then removed from our storage automatically. Your transcript stays in your history; the source video does not linger on our servers. For audio files and other formats, see the /audio-to-text/ hub.

“Every Zoom call gets recorded and I used to hand them off for manual notes. Now I drop the MP4 in, get a transcript and a summary, and the minutes write themselves.”
