This free tool listens to your video or recording and writes down every word, with a timestamp for each line. Use it for interviews, meetings, lectures, podcasts and video captions.
The speech model runs on your device, so your file never leaves it. The model downloads once and your browser keeps it for next time.
TXT, SRT or VTT
Download plain text to read or quote, an SRT file to add captions to any video, or a VTT file for web players.
Fix a word in the transcript before you download: the subtitles use your edit.
Words You Can Use.
Interviews and Research
Turn hours of recordings into searchable text, then pull quotes with exact timestamps.
Meetings and Lectures
Get notes from a recording instead of typing while you listen. Skim the text and jump to the parts that matter.
Podcasts and YouTube
Publish a transcript next to each episode. It helps listeners, makes your content accessible and gives search engines text to read.
Video Captions
Download as SRT or VTT and add captions to any video in your editor, on YouTube or in social apps.
Cleaner Transcripts.
Speech recognition is very good now, but the recording still decides the result. These tips raise the accuracy.
- 01
Record Close to the Mic
A phone or clip-on mic near the speaker beats a laptop mic across the room. Less echo means fewer mistakes.
- 02
Cut Background Noise
Music, traffic and fans make words harder to catch. Record somewhere quiet, or keep the music low under the voice.
- 03
Pick the Language If You Know It
Auto-detect works well, but choosing the language yourself helps with short clips and strong accents.
- 04
Check Names and Terms
Names, brands and technical words are the most common mistakes. Search the text for them and fix them before you share.
- 05
Use Timestamps to Quote
Timestamps take you back to the exact moment, so you can check a quote or cut a clip without listening to the whole file.
Mistakes That Cost Accuracy.
Recording from Far Away
A laptop mic across the room picks up echo and noise, and words get missed. Move the mic closer before you record.
Sharing Without a Read-Through
Names and numbers are where transcripts slip. Skim the text before you publish or quote it.
Loud Music Under the Voice
Background music can drown out quiet words. Keep the music low, or transcribe a take without it.
Which File to Download.
Three formats, one transcript. Pick the one that matches what you’ll do next.
| Format | What it is | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| TXT | Plain text, with or without timestamps | Reading, quoting, notes and summaries |
| SRT | Numbered lines with start and end times | Captions in editors, YouTube and social apps |
| VTT | Like SRT, made for the web | Captions on websites and web players |

How long can my file be?
The free tool transcribes the first 10 minutes of any file. Pro goes up to 60 minutes.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The speech model runs in your browser, on your device. Your video or recording is never sent anywhere.

Yes. No credits, no account and no daily limit. The model downloads once (about 40 to 80 MB) and your browser keeps it.
How accurate is it?
Very accurate for clear speech in common languages. Accuracy drops with heavy accents, people talking over each other, loud music or a poor microphone.

On a recent computer with WebGPU, faster than the recording plays. Phones and older computers take longer; the progress bar shows the time left.
Can I transcribe a YouTube video?
Use a file you have on your device and the right to use. If it’s your own channel, download the video from YouTube Studio first.
Can I turn the transcript into a summary?
Download the TXT and paste it into any AI assistant to get a summary, show notes or chapter list.
