Why bother with this page
Because it does the one thing you came for.
One recorded video can become notes, a summary, a newsletter, a blog post or a script. First you need the words, and this gets you the words.
◇
No nasty surprises
You get the spoken words as text. What was on screen, who was talking and what they meant are still your job.

Nobody else sees it
Your upload is deleted the moment the job finishes. The result is private to you, disappears by itself after 24 hours, and you can wipe it sooner with one click.
Before you ask
Video → text, answered
01Are there timestamps in it?＋
No — this is a clean block of readable text. If you want timings for captions, use the video-to-SRT or video-to-VTT tool.
02Does it read text shown on screen?＋
No, it listens rather than looks. Slides, titles and on-screen text will not appear in the transcript.
03Can I publish what comes out?＋
The result is yours to use — just remember you are still responsible for the rights to whatever you uploaded.
