Quick guide

The words out of an MP4

Upload an MP4 and the speech in it is written out as timed lines: handy for notes, quotes, a blog post or a video description.

Fix any word before you download, and your wording is used in every file, including the SRT and VTT subtitle files.

  • Just the words, quickly.
  • Timed lines, ready to copy.
  • Free, with no account.

What do I get back?
