    How to convert MPEG to text

    MPEG (.mpeg and .mpg) is an older standard video format from DVDs, TV captures and broadcast archives. Upload a .mpeg / .mpg 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 MPEG file

      MPEG files (.mpeg or .mpg) come from older camcorders, TV recordings and DVD-era video software. 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.
