01Features

Built for video creators who care about accuracy.

A video-to-text converter transcribes the spoken audio inside a video into written text. Modern AI speech models identify words, separate speakers, and attach timestamps — producing an editable transcript in minutes instead of hours. Scribix runs the same class of speech model that powers professional transcription suites — sign in with Google to get started and produce output clean enough to publish.

01

Speaker recognition, up to 8 voices

Voice-fingerprinting separates and labels each turn — Speaker 1, Speaker 2 become real names with one click. Perfect for interviews, podcasts, and panels.

02

200+ languages, auto-detected

From Mandarin to Maltese with code-switching support. The model adapts mid-recording when speakers swap languages.

03

Word-level timestamps

Click any word to play that exact moment. Timestamps export with SRT and VTT subtitles ready for video players.

04

Five export formats

TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, and CSV — covers documents, captions, spreadsheets, and review workflows without extra conversion.

05

Studio-grade accuracy

99.9% on clear audio in primary languages, measured on a 50-hour benchmark of TED talks, podcasts, and interviews. Background noise and accents handled gracefully.

06

Files deleted in 24 hours

TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, processing in encrypted memory. SOC 2-aligned, GDPR-compliant. We never train models on your audio.

02How it works

02

AI transcribes with speaker labels.

Our model auto-detects the language (200+ supported), separates up to 8 speakers, and attaches timestamps to every word. A 1-hour video transcribes in about 90 seconds.

03Use Cases

Made for the people who
turn video into text every day.

From creators repurposing 90 minutes of footage into shorts, to journalists quoting 2-hour interviews accurately — video-to-text is how recorded conversation becomes published work. Scribix is the workhorse behind it.

Long-form to short-form

Video creators

Generate captions for accessibility, repurpose long videos into blog posts, build searchable episode archives. Word-level timestamps make it trivial to extract viral clips with [12:04 – 12:38] precision.

05Testimonials

Built for the messy reality of recorded video.

I produce a weekly video podcast with three guests. Scribix turns three hours of overlapping audio into something I can paste straight into my CMS. The speaker labels alone save me a full afternoon.

We had a court case where we needed time-coded transcripts of 14 hours of testimony video. Scribix delivered cleaner output than the certified service we'd been paying $4/min for. Wild.

I record every fieldwork interview in Bahasa with code-switched English on video. Other tools stumble. Scribix transcribes the whole thing without me touching a language setting.

07FAQ

Questions,
answered carefully.

Can't find what you're looking for? Email hello@scribix.io and a real person responds within a working day.

  • 01Is Scribix really free for video to text?

    Yes. The free trial only needs a Google sign-in — no credit card. You get 45 minutes of transcription to try the quality before you decide. Paid plans unlock longer files, priority queue, team libraries, and longer file retention.

  • 02What video formats does Scribix support?

    MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and WebM up to 1 GB each. Audio-only files (MP3, WAV, M4A) are also supported.

  • 03How accurate is Scribix's video-to-text?

    99.9% on clear audio in primary languages, measured against a 50-hour benchmark of TED talks, podcasts, and interviews. Accuracy drops slightly with heavy accents, background music, or low-bitrate audio — but speaker labels and word-level timestamps make corrections quick.

  • 04How many languages does Scribix support?

    200+, with automatic language detection. The model handles code-switching (English ↔ Spanish, English ↔ Mandarin) within the same recording. No need to pre-select a primary language.

  • 05Can Scribix tell different speakers apart?

    Yes. Voice-fingerprinting identifies up to 8 distinct speakers and labels every line accordingly. You can rename Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc. to actual names after transcription, and the model remembers voices across recordings.

  • 06How long does video-to-text transcription take?

    Around 1 minute of compute time per hour of video for clear-audio MP4s. A 30-minute meeting takes about 45 seconds.

  • 07Is my data secure when I upload a video?

    Files are uploaded over TLS 1.3, processed in encrypted memory, and deleted within 24 hours. We don't train models on user audio. SOC 2-aligned infrastructure, GDPR-compliant data handling, and EU + US regional processing options.

  • 08What can I export the transcript as?

    Five formats: TXT (plain), DOCX (Word), SRT (subtitles), VTT (web subtitles), and CSV (spreadsheet-friendly). Click-to-edit inline before exporting.

  • 09Does Scribix work for podcasts and audio-only files?

    Yes — but for an audio-first workflow, our dedicated audio-to-text tool is purpose-built for that intent. Same engine, same accuracy, audio-tuned UI.
