How to convert a video to text online
Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, or upload a video file from your device. Our AI processes the audio and delivers a clean, readable transcript in minutes — no signup, no software to install.
Once it’s ready, copy the text or download it. Use it for blog posts, show notes, subtitles, social captions, or anything else you need in writing.
Why use a video to transcript generator?
Typing a transcript by hand takes about 4 hours for every hour of video. This tool does it in minutes with 95%+ accuracy, so you can spend that time creating instead of transcribing.
Publishing a text version of your video also helps with SEO. Search engines can’t watch your content, but they can index a transcript — helping you rank for keywords your audience is already searching.
How accurate is AI video transcription?
Our engine is trained on millions of hours of real-world audio — noisy calls, echoing rooms, overlapping speakers. It handles accents, technical jargon, and fast speech better than most paid transcription tools.
The output reads naturally with proper punctuation and context, so you spend minutes polishing instead of hours rewriting.
Do more with your videos
Choppity helps creators turn long videos into short, viral clips automatically. AI finds your best moments, adds captions, and formats everything for social — so you can publish more without editing more.
