Convert Video to Text
Extract spoken dialogue and commentary from any video into clear, searchable text. ScribeToAny pulls the audio track directly from video containers like MP4, MOV, and WEBM, letting you create written articles from recorded footage, index video webinars, or generate both full text transcripts and timed subtitles in one step.

Frequently asked questions
Which video formats are supported?
MP4, MOV, WEBM, MPEG, MPG and WMV all upload directly, alongside 8 pure-audio formats. There is no need to convert the video to audio first: the audio track is extracted server-side before transcription, and playback in the transcript view uses a processed MP3, so even exotic containers play back fine. Paid plans accept files up to 5 GB — several hours of HD footage.
What is the difference between a video transcript and video subtitles?
A video transcript is a complete, readable text document (DOCX, PDF, TXT) structured into continuous paragraphs with speaker headings — ideal for articles, study notes, and skimming. Video subtitles (SRT, VTT) break speech into 1-to-2 line fragments synchronized to millisecond timestamps for on-screen playback in editors and players. ScribeToAny exports both from a single video upload.
Can I transcribe video footage that has background music or sound effects?
Yes. Our Whisper-class neural networks are trained on complex media audio, effectively isolating speech frequencies from instrumental soundtracks, game audio, and ambient noise. For videos with loud mixes, our accurate transcription mode plus AI audio enhancement provides optimal recognition.
