VideoText

VideoText is a web application for transcribing video and audio and producing subtitle files. It runs on OpenAI Whisper large-v3 and covers transcripts, SRT/VTT subtitles, translation, subtitle repair, and client-guideline formatting. A free tier is available with daily limits.

What It Is

VideoText is a browser-based transcription and subtitle toolkit for creators, podcast teams, agencies, and freelance transcriptionists. You upload a video or audio file (MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM and others), optionally set the spoken language, and receive a timestamped transcript. Pro features add speaker labels, AI summary, chapters, and translation. Exports include TXT, SRT, and VTT on all plans, plus JSON, DOCX, PDF, CSV, Markdown, and Notion on Pro.

Fixing Transcripts and Subtitles

The Fix Subtitles tool takes an existing SRT or VTT file, reports issues such as overlapping cues, long lines, and large gaps, and lets you choose fixes: timing, grammar, line breaks, and filler-word removal. It returns a corrected file with a summary of changes, and Pro adds an in-app segment editor. Fix Transcript lets you edit text, add speakers and timestamps, and apply formatting before exporting a client-ready document. Separate free browser tools handle SRT to VTT conversion, validation, reading-speed checks, timing shifts, and merging SRT files.

Client Formatting and Delivery

The guideline formatter offers editable Rev-, GoTranscript-, TranscribeMe-, and Scribie-style rule presets, plus a slot for custom client guide files. Other tools translate SRT/VTT files into 70+ languages with timestamps preserved, burn captions into an MP4, compress video with web, mobile, or archive presets, and batch-process multiple videos into a ZIP on Pro. A browser voice recorder produces transcripts from microphone input.

Data Handling

The site states that result files are kept at least 24 hours, transcript text at least 7 days, and uploads and scratch files are removed within a few hours. It also states content is not used for AI training.
