Free Video Transcript Generator
Turn any video into text in seconds. Timestamps, 99+ languages, and downloads as TXT, SRT or VTT.
Your video stays on your device; only the audio is sent.
Why Transcribe Your Videos?
A transcript turns one video into a blog post, show notes, a newsletter, quotes for social posts and subtitles for viewers who watch with the sound off. It also gives search engines and AI assistants text they can read and rank.
Typing it out by hand takes about four times the length of the video. This tool does it in seconds.
Need Captions on 50 Videos at Once?
This free tool transcribes one file at a time. BatchEdits transcribes up to 50 videos at once and burns the captions in, removes silences and crops them to 9:16, so a week of content is ready in one go.
Got Questions? We've Got Answers.
Is the video transcript generator really free?
Yes. You can transcribe up to 5 files a day, up to 10 minutes each, with no signup and no watermark. For longer videos or many videos at once, BatchEdits transcribes and captions up to 50 videos in one go.
How accurate are the transcripts?
They use Whisper large-v3 turbo, one of the most accurate speech-to-text models. Clear speech usually comes out almost word for word. Loud background music or several people talking over each other lowers accuracy.
Which languages are supported?
99+ languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, Urdu, Arabic, French and German. The language is detected automatically, or you can pick it for better results with strong accents.
Can I download the transcript as subtitles?
Yes. Download an SRT or VTT file with timed caption lines and upload it to YouTube, or import it into Premiere Pro, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut. You can also download plain text, with or without timestamps.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Your browser extracts only the audio and sends that for transcription; the video stays on your device. The audio is deleted as soon as your transcript is ready.
How do I add the captions to the video itself?
Use our free captions generator, or download the SRT and add it in your editor. BatchEdits transcribes, styles and burns captions into every video, removes silences and crops to 9:16, for up to 50 videos at once.
How do I get a transcript of a video for free?
Drop the video into the BatchEdits free video transcript generator. It extracts the audio in your browser, transcribes it with Whisper and gives you the text with timestamps in seconds. Copy it, or download TXT for reading or SRT/VTT for subtitles. No signup, up to 10 minutes per file.
How do I turn a video into an SRT subtitle file?
Transcribe the video with the BatchEdits free transcript generator and download the SRT. Lines are split into readable caption cues with exact timings, ready for YouTube, Premiere Pro, CapCut or DaVinci Resolve.
Can I transcribe a video in another language?
Yes. The BatchEdits transcript generator supports 99+ languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, Urdu and Arabic, and detects the language automatically.
