FAQ

  • How do I convert a video to text?

    Upload a video file or paste a YouTube or Google Drive link. ViSearch transcribes the speech automatically and returns an editable transcript in minutes. You can export it as TXT, DOCX, PDF, or as SRT and VTT subtitles.

  • How accurate is the transcription?

    ViSearch runs on state-of-the-art speech recognition and delivers clean, publish-ready transcripts on clear audio - most users make no or only light edits before publishing. Challenging recordings (heavy accents, crosstalk, noisy rooms) may need a closer review. And you never have to take our word for it: your first 20 minutes are free, so test it on your own footage.

  • Can I transcribe a YouTube video without downloading it?

    Yes. Paste the YouTube link and ViSearch handles the rest - no downloads, no browser extensions.

  • Does it recognize different speakers?

    Yes. The transcript is split by speaker with automatic labels, which you can rename in the editor.

  • What languages are supported?

    More than 90 languages, with automatic language detection.

  • How long can my video be?

    Up to 10 hours per file. One hour of video is processed in 3 minutes.

  • Is my video private?

    Yes. Your uploads are visible only to you, stored securely, and never shared unless you would like to share it with someone. You can delete any video and its transcript from your library at any time.

  • How much does it cost?

    Pay as you go, from $0.09 per minute of source video. No subscription. Your first 20 minutes are free, no credit card required.

  • Can I convert MP4 to text?

    Yes. You can convert an MP4 video to text with ViSearch in just a few clicks. Upload your MP4 file and our AI video transcript generator will automatically extract the spoken content and create a readable transcript with timestamps and speaker identification. You can also generate chapters, a summary, and a quiz from your video, then download the transcript as TXT, DOCX, or PDF.

  • Can I get a video transcript with timestamps?

    Yes. ViSearch automatically adds timestamps to your video transcript, making it easy to find and jump to the exact moment when something was said. Timestamps can be combined with speaker identification and automatically generated chapters, which is especially useful for interviews, lectures, podcasts, meetings, webinars, and other long videos.

  • What video formats are supported?

    ViSearch supports all popular video formats including MP4, AVI, MKV, and WEBM. Upload your video directly to ViSearch and our AI will automatically transcribe the spoken content into text. You can also paste a YouTube or Google Drive link instead of uploading the video file. After transcription, you can export the text as TXT, DOCX, or PDF, or generate subtitles in SRT and VTT formats.
