Video transcript questions

How do I make a transcript of a video?+

Drop the video or audio file, pick the language or leave it on Auto-detect, and press Generate transcript. Fix any wrong words in the text box, then download TXT or SRT.

Is my video uploaded?+

No. Your browser pulls the audio track out of the file and sends only that audio for transcription, never the video. ClipsPal for Mac goes further: it transcribes locally on your Mac and sends only the transcript to the AI account you already use. See the AI video editor page.

What are the limits and what does it cost?+

It is free with no signup. Files can be up to 30 minutes long, and you can export TXT or SRT. For captions you already have, use the YouTube description generator, or browse the other free tools. For local video transcription, ClipsPal for Mac transcribes your footage on your Mac, and the footage never leaves it.
