How to Convert Video to Text in Three Steps
1
Upload Video File
Drag and drop an MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, or other video file straight from your device. Screen recordings, lecture videos, and videos from your phone all work. Upload up to 5GB and start the video to text conversion right in your browser.
2
Click Transcribe
Pick your transcription settings and start converting the video to text. UniScribe reads the audio track directly from the video file, so you don't have to extract the audio or convert the format first.
3
Export Transcript
Edit the transcript in the built-in editor, then export it as SRT or VTT subtitles for YouTube or your video editor, or as a TXT, DOCX, PDF, or CSV document. You can also share the transcript as a link.

SRT and VTT Subtitles, Plus Document Exports
Turn the transcript into SRT or VTT captions ready for YouTube and video editors, or download TXT, DOCX, PDF, and CSV when you need a document instead.
Turn Transcripts into Translated Subtitles
Translate the transcript into another language, so you can add subtitles in that language or share the content with more viewers.
Skim Long Videos with AI Summaries
Turn an hour-long video into a short summary, mind map, and key takeaways, so you can get the main points without watching the whole thing.
