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.
- 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.
- Choose language and output. Use Auto detect or English for faster results, then pick plain text or timestamped lines.
- 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.
Popular Use Cases
- Meeting and interview clips — Turn recorded video into searchable notes without retyping.
- Lectures and talks — Capture quotes, outlines, and action items from spoken video.
- Content creators — Draft captions, show notes, or blog posts from your own footage.
- Accessibility — Convert speech into text you can read, edit, or share.
Clear speech with less background noise usually produces the most accurate transcripts.
