Frequently asked questions
Is this video to text converter really free?
Yes. The tool is supported by ads, so transcription is completely free with no account, trial limits, or watermarks.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The speech-recognition AI (Whisper) runs inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your video never leaves your device.
How accurate is the transcription?
It uses OpenAI’s Whisper models, which handle natural speech, accents, and background noise well. Keep the default “Accurate” setting for the best results on difficult audio.
