    How to convert FLV to text

    FLV is Flash Video, the format of older web videos, livestream archives and some screen recorders. Upload a .flv / .f4v 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 FLV file

      FLV and F4V files come from old Flash video downloads, live stream archives and earlier streaming setups. Copy the file to your computer, 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.
