Speech to text, in your browser

Turn any audio into text

Drop an MP3, WAV, M4A or voice recording and the engine writes down the speech with timestamps, and can translate it — right on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

Private by design

The audio is extracted with ffmpeg.wasm and transcribed by a Whisper model that runs inside your browser. Your video never leaves your device.

How video-to-text works

1

Add a video

Drop any video or audio file. It stays on your device — nothing is uploaded to a server.

2

Transcribe

The browser extracts the audio and a Whisper model writes down the speech with timestamps for subtitles.

3

Translate & export

Optionally translate the text into another language, then download it as SRT, VTT or plain text.
