A TOOL FOR TRANSCRIPTIONISTS

Catch style-guide mistakes before your client does.

Save QA time: upload your client’s style guide, or start from an editable preset.
Each rule shows whether it was applied, and anything uncertain is flagged for you to accept or reject.

Example: a client sends back a transcript with style-guide issues, and each is fixed against the style guide’s rules: speaker labels, filler words, number style, OK spelling, [inaudible] tags and numerals.

Questions

What does VideoText do?

VideoText turns an uploaded video or audio file into a transcript with timestamps and speaker labels, SRT and VTT subtitles, and a translation that keeps the same cue times. It also fixes subtitle timing, burns captions into a video, compresses a file, and formats a transcript to a client style guide.

Who is it for?

Creators, podcasters, editors, agencies, educators, and people who deliver legal or medical transcripts. You upload a file you already have. VideoText does not join a live call.

How accurate is it?

You get word-level timestamps and 104 languages. Speaker labels are on Pro. Accuracy changes with the recording, so we do not print a single accuracy percentage.

Are my files private?

Your files are private and deleted automatically. We do not use your content to train models. Retention periods are on the Privacy page.

What does the free plan include?

A free account includes tool-specific processing allowances and files up to 30 minutes long. Sign in to see your current limits.
