About MP4
MP4 and speech-to-text: a natural fit
MP4 is the format most recordings end up in — meetings, lectures, interviews, screen captures. Converting MP4 to text unlocks what's trapped in the audio.
The default recording format
Zoom exports, phone videos, screen recordings, downloaded clips — MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the common denominator, which makes it the file people most often need transcribed.
The audio track is the source
The AI reads the audio stream inside your MP4 directly. There's no need to extract an MP3 or strip the video first — upload the MP4 as-is.
Codecs handled for you
H.264, H.265, or AV1 video with AAC or PCM audio — the usual MP4 internals are all supported, so the file plays whatever role your recorder gave it.
Long files welcome
Transcription runs at roughly 20x real time: an hour-long MP4 becomes text in about three minutes, so full meetings and lectures are no problem.
Beyond text
What to do with your MP4 transcript
MP4 to transcript is the first step — the text you get back is raw material for notes, content, and captions.
Notes and minutes
Speaker-labeled text turns a recorded call into ready minutes: decisions, owners, and action items in everyone's own words.
Quotes and research
Search the transcript for the exact phrase, copy it with its timestamp, and cite the moment — no scrubbing through the recording.
Subtitles from the same upload
The same transcription exports as SRT or VTT, so one MP4 upload gives you both the text document and the caption files.
Content repurposing
Turn the transcript into show notes, a blog post, or documentation — spoken content becomes indexable, linkable text that search engines can actually read.

Transcribe Video to Text is built on Vatis Tech's speech engine — here's what Vatis Tech customers say.
The automatically transcribed text can be easily edited and modified as needed… Automated transcripts can then be shared and distributed more easily among multiple users, facilitating collaboration and information exchange.
In our quest for a state-of-the-art transcription solution, Vatis Tech emerged as the clear choice, thanks to its solid accuracy, ease of use, and real-time capabilities.
The difference was clear right from the start. Vatis was faster, more accurate, and has only gotten better. It saves us time every day.
In a world full of unsearchable but crucial information on platforms such as TikTok, InstaReels, Facebook or YouTube lives, Vatis gave us, as journalists, the opportunity to collect, transcribe and search for information. Without it, I would have to listen to thousands of hours of interviews, debates and streamed video solely helped by two ears, ten fingers and a headset.
I use the software created by Vatis Tech on a weekly basis. It helps a lot to streamline my working time, making it easier to edit the text directly… The transcription is highly accurate, has diacritics, punctuation, and the paragraphs are separated by speakers.
Vatis Tech tackles the challenge of speech-to-text in medical and radiological language by employing artificial intelligence. With a focus on accuracy, Vatis Tech surpasses other applications for the Romanian language, offering reliable transcription results.
We switched from Turboscribe after hitting too many daily file limits and inconsistent results. Vatis Tech gave us instant speed, total control, and zero restrictions.
We left Notta because of the usage caps and hidden fees. Vatis gave us everything — fast, clean, and included.
