How it works

How to convert MP4 video to a transcript

This page is for people who searched MP4 to text — not the generic video to text converter. Upload the .mp4, transcribe, export.

1

Upload the MP4

Drop an MP4 recording from a camera, phone, or screen capture. Other containers (MOV, MKV, WebM) belong on the video to text converter.

2

Transcribe the file

Speech-to-text builds an MP4 to transcript result with timestamps and speaker labels.

3

Export text or captions

Copy the transcript or download TXT, SRT, DOCX, or PDF. Same workspace as every other Simple Scribe recording.

Workspace

MP4 to text beside the player

An MP4 to text converter is only useful if you can jump from a sentence back into the video. Playback and transcript stay in sync.

Free to start. If your file is not an MP4, use the generic video to text converter so you are not stuck on the wrong landing.
