Sentences, punctuation and speaker turns, so the text reads like something a person wrote down.

Text is searchable in a way video never is. Find the sentence, then click through to the second it was said.

Useful for notes, minutes, quotes, subtitles and anyone who'd simply rather read than watch.

What formats can I upload?

MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV and most audio formats including MP3 and M4A.

How long does it take?

Typically a few seconds for a link with existing captions, and around a minute per hour of audio when it needs transcribing.

Can I edit the text?

Yes. Fix a name or a term and the change is kept with your saved copy.

Does it handle multiple speakers?

It marks speaker changes, which is usually enough to follow an interview or a panel.

Can I export subtitles?

Yes — export as SRT or VTT alongside the plain text.
