Video to Text turns a video you select from your device into a browser-based Whisper transcript. Use it to make a transcript, create a caption draft, or review spoken content before editing. The current workflow processes the audio track in an uploaded video file; it does not fetch a YouTube link or perform server-side video extraction.
What you can export:
- TXT transcripts
- SRT subtitle files
- VTT subtitle files
Best for:
- private speech-to-text workflows
- subtitle and caption prep
- creator repurposing and review
- accessibility-friendly transcript exports
Privacy: Whisper transcription runs in the browser-first workflow. Media stays on your device instead of going through an upload-first dashboard.
Before you export: Start with a short representative clip, then check names, numbers, technical terms, and important cue boundaries against the source. A transcript or subtitle file is an editable machine-generated draft, not a legal record, translation, speaker-identification result, or proof of accessibility compliance. Keep your source file, make corrections before publishing, and use only material you are permitted to transcribe. Keep a short correction log with the final export so later edits remain traceable.

Prepare the Video File You Are Allowed to Transcribe
Choose a local video file that your browser can decode, then let the transcription workspace read its audio track. If a platform, camera, or editor produces a format your browser cannot open, export or extract an audio file from material you are allowed to use and select that file instead. OfflineTTS does not download a YouTube video, import a remote video URL, remove copy protection, or replace your editor's media-ingest workflow.
Use the first transcript as a review draft. Check speaker names, product names, numbers, quoted material, and cue breaks against the source before publishing captions. Whisper timing is an estimate, so SRT and VTT exports should be reviewed rather than treated as accessibility certification.
Video to Text Privacy, Exports, and Review
The selected media is processed in the browser-first transcription workflow rather than sent to an OfflineTTS upload dashboard. Model assets, ordinary page analytics, and a remote audio source that you choose may still involve their own network requests. Keep a local copy of the source and delete exported files separately if your retention policy requires it; clearing browser data does not remove files saved to your device.
TXT, SRT, and VTT are delivery formats, not evidence that a transcript is complete or accurate. Before sharing a result, compare important passages with the source, correct names and figures, and make sure you have permission to transcribe and distribute the material. For sensitive or regulated work, decide whether the browser, device, and local-file workflow meet your own policy before beginning.
