No account, no watermark. Your files are not stored on our servers after processing.
Lectures, webinars, interviews, and recorded presentations often contain the exact information you need, but finding a specific point requires scrubbing back and forth through the timeline. This tool extracts the audio from your uploaded video, transcribes the speech, and returns a written transcript broken into timestamped segments so you can search the text and jump directly to the matching moment in the video.
Common video formats like MP4, MOV, and WEBM are supported, and when multiple people speak, the transcript separates their turns so a panel discussion or interview reads clearly rather than as one continuous block of text. The generated transcript can be used as a starting point for subtitles, show notes, or written summaries. Both the uploaded video and the resulting transcript are processed for your session only and not stored afterward.
