    How to convert VOB to text

    VOB is the video file format inside DVDs: copy the VOB files from the VIDEO_TS folder and upload them. Upload a .vob 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 VOB file

      VOB files sit in the VIDEO_TS folder of a DVD or of a copied DVD folder. Copy the VOB files from that folder, then upload the ones that hold what you want transcribed.

    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.
