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.

Benefits

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.

Accuracy

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.

"The Choppity team have been shipping new updates to the product which I am quite happy about. It's getting faster and they are also giving us the features we've been asking for!"

Amy L.

Finance creator

"In the past I've tried to get my YouTube video editor to create mass amount of short form content, but they struggled. Economically it didn't make sense and the quality wasn't great. Choppity has been an INCREDIBLE asset in scaling up my short-form video reach. Having ALL the clips automatically clipped, styled and ready to publish has been the biggest lever to growing my businesses."
