VideoText turns video and audio into transcripts, subtitles and translations you can publish. It's an online transcription and subtitle tool for YouTubers and short-form creators, podcasters, educators and course creators, video editors, transcriptionists, agencies and marketing teams who work with spoken content every day and don't want to spend hours cleaning up captions.
You don't need any technical skills. Upload a video or audio file, such as an MP4, MOV or WebM, in your browser, review the result and download it. Your subtitle files work in YouTube, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut and most other video editors.
What you can do with VideoText:
Video to transcript: turn interviews, lectures, meetings, podcasts and videos into text, and export it as TXT, DOCX or PDF. Choose timestamps every 30 seconds, on each segment, or none at all. Add names and specialist terms before you start so people, products and jargon are spelled the way you want. Pro adds speaker labels, so you can see who said what.
Video to subtitles: create SRT and VTT subtitle files timed to the speech. Before you publish, VideoText points out captions that are too fast to read or too short to follow.
Translate subtitles: translate subtitle files into 104 languages while keeping the original timing. Review the original and the translation side by side, with lines that run too long flagged for you.
Fix subtitles: repair broken SRT and VTT files with overlapping lines, bad timecodes, wrong numbering or lines too long to read. It's free with an account.
Burn captions into video: use Subtitle Style Studio's 12 ready-made styles, fonts that support Arabic, Devanagari and Chinese, and top, center or bottom placement. Vertical 9:16 clips for Shorts, Reels and TikTok stay intact.
Free browser tools: check a subtitle file with the Subtitle Validator, shift subtitle timing, convert ASS or SBV files to SRT, and count subtitle words, all without uploading anything.
My Projects: every job is saved, so you can come back, re-download and re-export anytime.
Common uses:
Captions and subtitles for YouTube videos and social clips
Transcripts of podcasts, interviews and webinars
Subtitles for online courses and training videos
Translated subtitles for viewers in other countries
Cleaning up subtitle files from other tools before delivering them to a client
Why people use VideoText: most subtitle problems aren't about creating captions, they're about cleaning them up. Captions run too long, timing drifts, files won't import, and translations lose their sync. VideoText puts transcription, subtitles, translation, repair and burned-in captions in one place, so you don't have to juggle several tools to finish one video.
Plans: start on the Free plan, which includes the free browser tools, and Fix Subtitles is free with an account. Pro is $14.99 a month or $120 a year. It includes 30 hours of speech processing every month, files up to 4 hours long, speaker labels and exports without a watermark.

I've been using VideoText for my audio and video transcription, and I've found it super helpful! My favorite feature is Make Client Ready. It lets you automatically format transcripts to match guidelines like Rev or GoTranscript, or you can upload your own custom style guide.
It does struggle a bit with speaker identification and tracking when there are multiple speakers, but the raw accuracy is still impressive. Plus, you can easily separate speakers manually since it lets you add timecodes, including BITC, post-generation. Overall, it's definitely worth a try and remains a solid tool for straightforward files.

Thank you, Brian! You've been one of our most valuable testers, and a lot of what's in VideoText today came from your feedback on real transcription files, so this review means a lot.
I'm glad Make Client Ready has been useful. Matching Rev, GoTranscript or a client's own style guide is exactly the job we built it for.
You're right about multiple speakers. Speaker identification on busy, multi-voice files is the area we're working on most right now. Until then, the manual speaker and timecode tools (including BITC) are there so you're never stuck. Please keep sending us the tough files.
I needed a basic tool to transcribe meetings which were too long to use google Gemini to transcribe. This tool did it for me perfectly and quickly.

Thank you, Hannah! I'm glad VideoText helped you transcribe a meeting recording that was too long for Gemini. Thanks for taking the time to share that.
