    How to convert AVI to text

    AVI is Microsoft's long-standing video container, common in older camcorder footage, archives and Windows screen recorders. Upload a .avi file and Scriptivox turns the speech in it into an accurate transcript with timestamps and speaker labels, which you can edit and download as TXT, DOCX, PDF, CSV, SRT or VTT.

    1. Upload your AVI file

      AVI files come from older cameras, Windows video tools and screen capture software. Copy the .avi file from the camera's card or your PC, then upload it.

    2. Choose the language

      Leave it on auto-detect or pick one of more than 100 languages. Turn on speaker recognition when more than one person talks.

    3. Edit and export

      Read the transcript with timestamps, correct any word in the editor, then download it as TXT, DOCX, PDF, CSV, SRT or VTT.
