Video to text: transcribe video and audio online
Optimiro converts speech in a video or audio recording into text you can copy. Use transcription on its own for notes and drafts, or take the transcript into the AI script workflow. You do not need to research competitors first.
How to extract text from a video
Sign in, open Video to text, and upload your video or audio file. Wait for transcription, then review the wording and copy the result. Start with a short recording with clear speech; split longer recordings into shorter clips.
From spoken words to useful writing
Transcribe a short interview, a lesson excerpt, a product explanation or a voice recording. Keep the wording as a reference, turn it into your own notes, or use the text as source material for a new video script. Transcription and script generation are separate tasks: you can stop after getting the text.
What to check before publishing
A transcript represents spoken audio, not text printed on screen. Background noise, overlapping voices, names and mixed languages can affect accuracy. Check the result against the recording, especially names, numbers and technical terms. Video-to-text is not a promise of automatic subtitles or perfect transcription.
Access and processing
Transcription requires a paid plan. The app normally extracts audio in your browser and sends that audio for processing; if the browser cannot decode a supported video, the video may be uploaded for server processing instead. Use recordings you are entitled to process. See the privacy policy for data handling.
