Free Online Video and Audio to Text Transcription
Repurposing your content just got a whole lot easier. Editif's transcription tool instantly converts spoken words from any video or audio file into clean, readable text — and it's completely free for the Base model with no sign-up required. Whether you're a podcaster turning episodes into blog posts, a journalist processing a two-hour interview, a student reviewing lecture recordings, or a content creator who needs captions for social media, our AI-driven speech-to-text engine saves you hours of manual typing.
How to Transcribe Audio and Video to Text
Upload Your File
Select any MP4, MP3, WAV, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, FLAC, AAC, OGG, or M4A file. The Base model has no file size limit — even hour-long recordings work fine.
AI Processes Your Audio
Our speech recognition AI analyzes the audio track and extracts every word with word-level timestamps. The Base model runs directly in your browser for maximum privacy.
Review and Download
Copy your transcript directly, or download it as a plain text file (.TXT), SRT subtitles, or WebVTT captions. Use it for blog posts, show notes, meeting minutes, or video captions.
Why Transcribe Your Videos and Podcasts?
Transcription isn't just about convenience — it has real, measurable benefits for your content's reach and accessibility:
- Create blog posts faster: Don't start from scratch. Use your YouTube videos or podcast episodes as the foundation for written articles. A 30-minute video can become a 3,000-word blog post that ranks in Google search results.
- Boost your video SEO: Search engines can't watch your videos, but they can read text. Adding a transcript to your video page gives Google crawlable content full of natural keywords, helping your videos rank higher.
- Generate meeting notes automatically: Stop worrying about taking notes during important Zoom calls or client meetings. Record the audio and let the AI handle documentation.
- Improve accessibility: Providing full text transcripts alongside your media ensures your content is accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, complying with WCAG web accessibility standards.
- Repurpose across platforms: Turn one video into newsletter content, social media threads, show notes, and email copy — without typing a single word manually.
Base vs. Pro: Which Model Should You Use?
| Feature | Base (Free) | Pro (Credits) |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | 100% Free | Pay per use |
| Processing | In your browser (local) | Cloud servers |
| Privacy | Files never leave device | Encrypted, auto-deleted |
| Best for | Clear audio, single speaker | Noisy audio, multiple speakers |
| File size limit | None | 300MB |
| Account required | No | Yes |
Our recommendation: start with the free Base model. If the output needs too much manual cleanup — especially for recordings with heavy background noise or overlapping speakers — try the Pro model for noticeably better results.
Supported File Formats
Editif handles virtually every audio and video format you'll encounter: MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG, M4A, WMA, and more. Export your transcription as .TXT (plain text for documents), .SRT (SubRip subtitles for YouTube and video players), or .VTT (WebVTT captions for websites and HTML5 players).
Your Privacy Is Built In
When you use the free Base model, your files are processed entirely on your own device using WebAssembly technology. They never leave your browser — there's nothing to upload, nothing to store on our servers, and nothing to worry about. For the Pro model, files are encrypted during processing and automatically deleted from our servers afterward. We never share, sell, or use your content for AI training.
