How to convert MP4 to text

01
Drop the MP4 Any MP4 — a recording, a download, a screen capture.
02
It extracts audio and transcribes The audio track is pulled, cleaned, and transcribed with timestamps.
03
Export text + captions Transcript, SRT/VTT, a summary, and agent JSON.

MP4 is the format video lives in — recordings, downloads, exports, screen captures — and none of it is searchable until the words come out. MP4 to text pulls a clean, timestamped transcript out of any MP4 so you can read it instead of scrubbing it.

Vocce extracts the audio track from the MP4, cleans it, and transcribes with word-level timestamps. Huge files are fine — they're compressed and processed server-side in a queue, not in your browser tab — and the video resolution doesn't matter, only the audio does.

Out comes the transcript (TXT/DOCX), SRT/VTT captions to drop back on the video, a summary, and a JSON version for pipelines. The first three minutes are free.

// features

Built to survive real files.

Audio pulled for you

The track is extracted and normalized automatically — you never run ffmpeg or pick a codec.

Resolution doesn't matter

A 4K MP4 and a 480p MP4 with the same audio produce the same transcript.

Big files welcome

Multi-GB MP4s are compressed and queued server-side; you don't keep a tab open.

Captions included

SRT and VTT come with every transcript, timestamped and player-ready.

Over 100 languages

Spoken language detected automatically, or set it yourself.

Pipeline-ready

The same job runs from the API, CLI, and MCP, with a JSON schema agents can read.
