    How to convert MP4 to text

    MP4 is the standard video format: phone videos, screen recordings, and Zoom and Teams meeting recordings are usually MP4 files. Upload a .mp4 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 MP4 file

      MP4 files come from phone cameras, screen recorders, Zoom's local recordings and video editors. On a phone, pick the video straight from your gallery or Files in the upload box.

    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.
