How do I convert an MP4 to text?

Upload the MP4, choose the spoken language (or leave auto-detect on), and hit Transcribe. In minutes you'll have the full transcript on screen — the first 3 minutes are free with no account.

Is the MP4 to text converter free?

Yes. Every MP4 gets a free 3-minute preview without signing up. A free account adds 30 free minutes and unlocks full transcripts; Pro ($12/month) includes 20 hours of transcription a month.

How accurate is the MP4 transcription?

Typically around 99% on clear recordings. The engine behind this tool scored a 4.4% word error rate on a published broadcast-news benchmark — ahead of Microsoft, Whisper-Large, and Google USM. Accuracy varies with audio quality, accents, and background noise.

Can I get an MP4 transcript with timestamps and speakers?

Yes. Timestamps are word-level — click any line to jump to that moment — and speaker labels split the transcript by who's talking, which is exactly what you want for interviews and meetings.

What export formats are available?

TXT for plain text, PDF for a shareable document, and SRT or VTT for subtitles — with custom lines per caption, words per line, and speaker names for the subtitle formats.

What languages does it transcribe?

Over 100 languages with automatic detection, or pick the language yourself before transcribing for the best results.

Can I convert other video formats to text?

Yes — MOV, MKV, WebM, and 20+ other formats work the same way, plus audio files like MP3, WAV, and M4A.
