## Where WebM files come from

Recorded in a browser or a free tool? It's probably WebM.

### Browser screen recorders

Chrome extensions and web-based recorders export WebM by default. Upload the file and turn the walkthrough into searchable text.

### OBS & desktop tools

OBS, ShareX and many free recorders produce WebM. Transcribe demos, streams and tutorials without re-encoding.

### Recorded calls & voice notes

Browser-recorded meetings and WebM voice notes transcribe with speaker labels and timestamps.

## From recording to readable in minutes

For a video, your browser extracts the audio track first - only the audio is sent.

### Direct upload

WebM video has its audio extracted locally; WebM audio uploads as-is. No converters, no re-encoding, no quality loss.

### AI summary

A long demo or meeting becomes main topics and action items - skim instead of re-watching.

### Every export format

Plain text, text with timestamps, SRT or VTT subtitles - plus translation into 18 languages.

## Pay only for what you use

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

Video files up to 4 hours; audio files up to 200MB. Only the audio track is uploaded, so even long recordings transfer quickly.
