    How to convert TS to text

    TS (MPEG transport stream) is the format of TV recordings, live-stream captures and HLS video segments. Upload a .ts 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 TS file

      TS files come from TV and IPTV recordings, set-top boxes and live stream archives. Copy the .ts 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.
