Video transcription

Convert video to text, speakers and timestamps included

Upload a video file — a screen recording, a webinar, a Zoom or Teams recording, a clip from your phone — and MinutesMaster turns its audio into a timestamped transcript with speakers separated, subtitles and, for meetings, the minutes.

For the video files on your disk

Meeting platforms, screen recorders and phones save recordings as video, but what you usually need is the words. Upload the file as it is: MinutesMaster accepts MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM and other common video formats up to 2 GB, takes the audio track and transcribes it — no converting to MP3 first.

You get a transcript with speakers separated by voice and a timestamp on every turn, ready to read, search or export as SRT or VTT subtitles for the video. If the video is a meeting, you also get minutes with decisions and action items; for a webinar or a talk, pick a template that fits.

If the video is already on YouTube or in Google Drive, paste the link instead of uploading it. Pricing follows the length, not the file size: 1 credit covers 30 minutes, and new accounts start with 5 free credits.

Tom Becker (15:20) — Can we share the checklist with everyone who attended today?

Key point

One shared checklist, with three mandatory steps before the client sees anything.

How it works

From video file to text in four steps

Meeting recordings, webinars, interviews, tutorials and phone videos.

  1. 1

    Create a free account

    Sign up with email, Google or Apple — no credit card. You start with 5 credits, enough for 2.5 hours of video.

  2. 2

    Upload the video

    Drop in the file (MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM and more, up to 2 GB) or paste a YouTube or Google Drive link. Pick the language or let it auto-detect.

  3. 3

    Get the transcript

    MinutesMaster extracts the audio, transcribes it with speakers and timestamps and writes a summary — usually a minute or two after the upload finishes.

  4. 4

    Export text or subtitles

    Download the transcript as Word, PDF or plain text, or as SRT or VTT subtitles to add to the video.

Features

What you get from a video

The words of the video, in the form you need them.

  • Common video formats

    MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM and other common formats, up to 2 GB per file. The audio track is extracted for you.

  • Speakers separated by voice

    Who said what, with a timestamp on every turn. Name a speaker once and the name appears in all exports.

  • Summary or minutes

    A summary with key points for talks and webinars; decisions and action items with owners for recorded meetings.

  • 38 languages and translation

    Transcribe videos in 38 languages, including mixed-language ones, and translate the transcript — for example to get subtitles in another language.

  • SRT and VTT subtitles

    Subtitle files with timestamps for video players, editors and publishing platforms, plus Word, PDF, plain text and JSON.

  • Search inside your videos

    Ask MinutesMaster what was said in any of your videos and meetings, and play back the moments it cites.

Use cases

What people convert from video to text

Recordings where reading beats rewatching.

  • Zoom, Teams and Meet recordings

    Upload the MP4 the platform saved and get the transcript plus minutes with decisions and action items — even if no bot was in the call.

  • Webinars and screen recordings

    Turn a product demo, a training video or a recorded presentation into text you can search and quote.

  • Videos from your phone

    Interviews, talks and family stories filmed on a phone become a transcript with each speaker’s turn.

  • Subtitles for your own videos

    Export SRT or VTT with timestamps and add them in your video editor or on the platform where you publish.

  • Video interviews and focus groups

    Researchers get a timestamped transcript with the speakers separated, ready for analysis.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a video to text?
Create a free MinutesMaster account, upload the video file and wait for processing to finish — usually a minute or two after the upload. You get a transcript with speakers and timestamps that you can export as text, Word, PDF or subtitles.
Which video formats are supported?
MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM and other common video formats, up to 2 GB per file. For a larger file, export only the audio track (for example as M4A) and upload that.
Is the video to text converter free?
You can start free: new accounts get 5 credits once — 2.5 hours of video — without a credit card. Credits are charged by length, not file size: 1 credit covers 30 minutes. Packs start at 10 credits for €9.
Can I get subtitles from a video?
Yes. Export the transcript as SRT or VTT subtitle files with timestamps, ready for video editors and players. Translate the transcript first to get subtitles in another language.
Can I turn an MP4 meeting recording into minutes?
Yes. Upload the MP4 from Zoom, Teams or Google Meet and MinutesMaster writes minutes with a summary, decisions and action items with owners next to the transcript.
Does it work with a YouTube video?
Yes, without downloading anything: paste the link of a public YouTube video, or a Google Drive link, and the audio is fetched for you.
Can I upload a video from my phone?
Yes. Upload the file in your phone’s browser, or import it in the MinutesMaster mobile app.
Is my video used to train AI?
No. MinutesMaster doesn’t use videos, recordings or transcripts to train AI models. Your files stay private to your account unless you share them, and you can delete them at any time.
