How MP4 to text conversion works
An MP4 file holds a video track and an audio track. To turn an MP4 into text, the converter takes only the audio track and runs speech recognition on it. The picture is not needed, which is why a long MP4 can be transcribed in a few seconds after it is uploaded.
MP4 is what most phones, cameras, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, OBS and video editors export by default, so this is usually the right page for converting a recorded video to text.
Upload the MP4 on this page and press Transcribe. When it is done, copy the text or download it as a TXT file.
Yes, up to 500 MB and 15 minutes. For bigger files, export a lower resolution copy. Resolution does not affect the transcript.
No. Upload the MP4 directly. The audio is extracted for you.
Yes. There is no account, no watermark and no payment.
