Everything you need in a free video to text converter

Transcribe video speech to text

Upload MP4, WebM, or MOV clips and turn spoken words into editable text you can copy or download.

Audio stays light

Only a compressed audio extract leaves your device for transcription — the full video file never needs to be uploaded.

Plain text, timestamps, or SRT

Export a clean readable transcript, keep [mm:ss] markers, or grab an .srt subtitle file for editors and players.

Free and fast

No account, install, or credit card. Speech recognition runs through Focera’s transcription API — no model download on your device.

How It Works

Converting video to text should be quick. Focera keeps the whole transcription flow on one page — upload a clip, choose a language, extract speech, edit, and export without an account or desktop installer.

  1. Upload your video. Drag and drop an MP4, WebM, or MOV file up to 100 MB and 10 minutes, or click the zone to browse from your device.
  2. Choose language and output. Use Auto detect or English for faster results, then pick plain text or timestamped lines.
  3. Transcribe, edit, and export. Review the result, fix any wording, then copy, download TXT, or download SRT.

Jump back to the video to text tool anytime to convert another clip.

FAQ

Is this video to text converter free?

Yes. Upload a clip, transcribe speech, copy, and download with no account, subscription, or daily limit.

How does video to text work?

Your browser extracts a compressed audio track from the video, then Focera’s transcription API converts speech into timed text. You can edit the result, then copy or download it.

Which video formats are supported?

Upload MP4, WebM, or MOV files up to 100 MB and about 10 minutes long.

Is my full video uploaded?

No. Only a compressed audio extract is sent for transcription. The video file stays in your browser. Audio is not kept as a permanent library on Focera.

What can I download?

Copy the transcript, download a .txt file (plain or timestamped), or export an .srt subtitle file when timed segments are available.

Do I need to download a speech model?

No. Transcription runs on Focera’s speech API. There is no large model download for each visitor.

Can I get timestamps?

Yes. Choose With timestamps for [mm:ss] markers on each line, or Plain text for readable paragraphs.

Do I need an account?

No. Open the page, upload a video, and transcribe. Nothing to install and no signup required.
