Common questions
How do I convert a video to text?
Upload your video file to TranscribTxt. The tool extracts the audio track and returns a text transcript quickly (in our test, an 11-minute recording took about 13 seconds). Download it as TXT for a document, or as SRT to add captions to the video.
Which video formats are supported?
MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, MKV and most common containers, plus audio-only files. Files up to 500 MB are supported — for long HD videos, upload just the audio track (an hour of audio is about 60 MB).
Is video transcription free?
Yes. The free plan transcribes 3 videos a day (up to 30 minutes each) at no cost, no credit card required — SRT subtitle export included. Pro ($10/month) removes the limits, or get a one-time $5 Week Pass.
Can I turn the transcript into subtitles?
Yes. Export the result as SRT and load it into YouTube, Premiere, CapCut, or any player to caption your video with accurate, time-coded subtitles.
How accurate is video transcription?
TranscribTxt uses Whisper large-v3 turbo. Clear narration and studio recordings transcribe accurately; noisy or overlapping speech is lower. Language is detected automatically across 99 languages.
