Frequently asked questions

How do I transcribe a video to text?

Upload one video, choose its language or leave Auto detect selected, then press Transcribe video. You can review and copy the result in your browser or download it as a text file.

Which video formats can I transcribe?

The converter accepts common MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM, MKV, AVI, MPEG, OGV, FLV, and transport stream files. The video must contain a readable audio track.

What are the video size and length limits?

Each video can be up to 50 MB and 60 minutes long. The current free allowance is five transcription attempts per day per connection.

Can the transcript include timestamps?

Yes. Keep Include timestamps selected to add a time marker at the start of each spoken section, or turn it off for continuous plain text.

How can I improve transcription accuracy?

Choose the spoken language when you know it, and add unusual names, brands, or technical terms in the optional terms box. Clear speech with little background noise produces the best result.

What happens to my video after transcription?

Your video, extracted audio, and transcript stay on TryDeputize infrastructure and are deleted automatically within about an hour. A video waiting in the transcription queue is kept only until it runs, with a 12-hour safety limit for abandoned work. Speech is processed by our self-hosted faster-whisper worker, so your recording is not sent to a third-party AI service.
