Less data to upload
The browser extracts and prepares audio locally. That can make a large video much smaller to transfer than uploading its complete visual stream.
VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION & SUBTITLES
Turn video into text without sending the whole video.
Media2Text prepares the audio track in your browser for supported video files, then transcribes the sound into editable text and timed subtitles. The original video stays on your device.

Navigate by time
Timestamped segments help editors, reviewers and researchers return to the precise part of the recording behind each line.
Caption-ready formats
Export SRT or WebVTT for a captioning workflow, or choose TXT when you need an editable transcript without timing syntax.
How video transcription works
- Drop in a supported video. Choose MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, WMV, MPEG/MPG, TS or 3GP from your device.
- Let the browser prepare the sound. Media2Text checks for an audio track and prepares audio locally. A silent video cannot be transcribed.
- Review with playback. Follow highlighted transcript segments as the audio plays, correct the text and export the format you need.
Useful for creators, interviews and recorded sessions
Video-to-text is valuable when the spoken content must be reused. Creators can prepare captions and descriptions, journalists can find quotations, and teams can search a recorded demonstration. Because words remain linked to time, the transcript can also act as an index into a long recording.
Transcription does not describe silent visual action. It converts the video's spoken audio, so visual descriptions, on-screen text and accessibility narration require a separate review. Always verify names, figures and publication-critical lines against the source.
Video-to-text questions
Is the complete video uploaded?
For supported browser processing, no. Media2Text prepares an audio track locally and uploads the prepared audio required for transcription, not the original video.
Can I convert video to SRT?
Yes. Choose SRT for widely supported timed captions or VTT for common web-video workflows.
What happens if a video has no audio?
The workflow should stop because there is no speech signal to convert. A transcript cannot be created from silent visual content alone.
