TidyTranscribeVideo to text & subtitles
Get a transcript and a ready-to-use SRT file from any MP4 or WEBM video.
Runs 100% in your browser. Your audio is never uploaded.
Transcribe video and create SRT subtitles
Drop an MP4 or WEBM video and TidyTranscribe extracts the audio track, transcribes it and gives you a transcript plus a timestamped SRT subtitle file — without uploading the video.
SRT files work in YouTube, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut and most video players. Review the text, fix names or terms if needed, and import the file as captions.

Guides
FAQ
How do I add the SRT file to my video?+
In YouTube Studio, open Subtitles and upload the file. In most editors, import the SRT as a caption track. Video players like VLC load it automatically if it has the same name as the video.
Which video formats are supported?+
MP4 and WEBM work in all modern browsers. MOV files usually work in Safari and Chrome on macOS. If a file does not load, export the audio as MP3 or M4A and drop that instead.
Is it really free?+
Yes. Transcription runs on your own device, so it costs us nothing and is free for you.
Is my audio uploaded?+
No. The model is downloaded once and cached; your files never leave your browser.
Which browser works best?+
A recent Chrome or Edge on desktop uses your GPU and is fastest. Other browsers fall back to CPU mode.
How long can a file be?+
There is no hard limit, but long files take longer on slower devices. Start with the Fast model.
