## Why transcribing video usually hurts

Video files are huge - but the text only needs the audio track.

### Uploading 2GB for 40MB of audio

Most tools make you upload the whole video file, then charge you for the wait.

**Now:** Speecho extracts the audio track in your browser before anything is sent. A 2GB screen recording becomes a small audio file in seconds.

### Subtitles by hand take hours

Typing captions and aligning time codes manually is a full evening per video.

**Now:** Export SRT or VTT with accurate time codes, ready for YouTube, Premiere, DaVinci or CapCut.

### Sending full footage away

Uploading raw footage to a third party isn't always an option.

**Now:** Only the audio leaves your machine - the video itself never gets uploaded.

## Works with the videos you already record

Zoom, Teams and Google Meet recordings, screen captures, YouTube source files, lectures, webinars.

### Meeting recordings

MP4 exports from Zoom, Teams or Meet become searchable meeting notes with speaker labels and an AI summary.

### Creator content

Caption your own videos before publishing, repurpose spoken content into posts and show notes.

### Translated subtitles

Transcribe in the original language, then translate the transcript - and export translated subtitles for international viewers.

## Pay only for what you use

Top up once. Credits never expire. No subscription. One wallet for transcription, scans and captions.

New accounts get 15 free minutes to try - credits work for scans and captions too.

## Frequently asked questions

Not covered here? [Ask us](https://speecho.app/contact/), we usually reply within a business day.

**How do I convert MP4 to text?**

Open the Speecho app and drop in your MP4. The audio track is extracted in your browser, transcribed by AI, and you get a timestamped transcript you can copy, download, summarize or translate.

**Do I have to upload the whole video file?**

No. Speecho extracts the audio track locally in your browser before uploading, so even multi-gigabyte videos only transfer a small audio file. The video itself never leaves your computer.

**Can I get SRT subtitles from an MP4?**

Yes. Export the transcript as SRT or VTT with accurate time codes and upload it to YouTube or import it into any video editor.

**Which video formats are supported?**

MP4, and also MOV (iPhone/QuickTime) and WebM (screen recordings) - the browser extracts the audio track regardless of the video codec. If your file plays in Chrome, it can be transcribed.

**How much does video transcription cost?**

You pay for audio duration only: from $0.83 to $1.25 per hour. A 30-minute video costs about $0.42–$0.63. No subscription, credits never expire.

## From footage to transcript, fast.

Audio extracted in your browser - no giant uploads, no subscription.
