Is the video-to-text converter free?

Yes. You can transcribe the first 3 minutes of any video or audio file for free — no account and no credit card required. Create a free account to get 30 free minutes and unlock full transcripts with exports. For regular use, Pro is $12/month and includes 20 hours of transcription every month.

How much does Pro cost, and what do I get?

Pro is $12/month (or $120/year — 2 months free) and includes 20 hours of transcription every month, with all features and exports. Your hours reset at the start of each billing period — unused hours don't roll over. Your free 30 minutes never expire.

Do I need to sign up to try it?

No. Upload a file and you'll get a free 3-minute preview instantly, without signing up. Create a free account when you want to unlock the full transcript — you'll also get 30 free minutes to transcribe more.

How accurate is the video transcription?

Our AI delivers highly accurate transcripts — typically around 99% on clear recordings. Accuracy depends on recording quality, background noise, accents, and the number of speakers.

What video and audio formats are supported?

Most common formats work out of the box — MP4, MOV, MKV, and WebM for video, plus MP3, WAV, and M4A for audio. Just drag and drop your file to get started.

What languages can it transcribe?

Over 100 languages are supported, with automatic language detection. You can also pick the language manually before you transcribe for the best results.

Can it tell different speakers apart?

Yes. Turn on speaker labels and the transcript is automatically split by speaker (diarization), so you can see who said what along with timestamps.

Can I export subtitles like SRT and VTT?

Absolutely. Export your transcript as TXT, PDF, SRT, or VTT. For subtitles you can customize the format — lines per caption, words per line, and whether to include speaker names.

Are my files private and secure?

Your uploads are private to your account and are never used to train AI models. You stay in control and can remove your files and transcripts at any time.

What's the difference between a transcript generator and transcription software?

A transcript generator (like this tool) is a quick web-based way to turn a video into text on demand, with no setup. Transcription software is typically a desktop app or larger SaaS with editing, collaboration, and project management features. Our tool generates accurate transcripts in seconds, and you can upgrade to Pro for unlimited length and subtitle exports.
