A transcript turns a video into something you can read, search, quote and repurpose — captions, blog drafts, show notes, study notes. This tool transcribes any video to text for free using AI that runs securely, so nothing you transcribe ever is stored.
Copy a video that has speech and paste the URL into the tool.
The tool loads it ready for the Subtitles & Transcript feature.
The AI transcribes the audio — or translates it to English — instantly.
Export subtitles or a plain-text transcript in a single tap.
Accurate, private, multilingual
The transcription uses OpenAI’s Whisper model running securely. It handles dozens of languages and clear speech with strong accuracy, and it can translate any of them into English. Because it’s all local, your video and its transcript stay completely private.
What can you do with a transcript?
- Add subtitles to your video for accessibility and silent viewing.
- Turn a talk or podcast into a blog post or article.
- Search a long video for the exact moment something was said.
- Create study notes from a lecture or tutorial.
Tip: Choose SRT or VTT if you want timed subtitles, or TXT if you just need the words as a clean block of text to copy into a document.
