    How to convert WMV to text

    WMV is Windows Media Video, common in older Windows recordings, corporate training libraries and video archives. Upload a .wmv 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 WMV file

      WMV files come from Windows Movie Maker, PowerPoint video exports and older Windows screen recorders. Copy the .wmv file from your PC, 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.
