Free & Private
Transcribe Video & Audio
AI-powered transcription running entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
100% private — nothing is uploaded
The AI model runs entirely on your device. Your video or audio file never leaves your browser, making this the most private transcription tool available.
No sign-up, no limits
Start transcribing immediately with no account required. There are no file limits, no session limits, and no usage caps on browser-based transcription.
Export as SRT, VTT, or plain text
Download your transcript in whichever format you need — SRT for video editors, VTT for web players, or plain text for documents and notes.
How it works
Drop your file
Drag and drop any video or audio file. The first run downloads a 147 MB AI model once; after that, transcription starts instantly.
Wait for AI transcription
The Whisper model runs locally in your browser. Processing speed depends on your device — typically a few minutes for a 10-minute file.
Review and download
Edit any word or timestamp in the transcript, then export as SRT subtitles, VTT captions, or plain text.

Frequently asked questions
Is this transcription tool really free?
Yes. Browser-based transcription using the local Whisper model is completely free with no sign-up required. There are no usage limits or watermarks.
Why does the first transcription take longer?
The Whisper AI model (about 147 MB) is downloaded to your browser on first use. This happens once and is cached — subsequent transcriptions start immediately.
What languages does it support?
The Whisper model supports 99 languages. It auto-detects the language from your audio, though accuracy is highest for English.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs on your device. Your file is never sent to any server — this is a fundamental difference from most transcription tools.
What's the difference between this and the SRT Generator?
This tool gives you a full editable transcript and multiple export formats. The SRT Generator is a simpler flow focused specifically on creating SRT subtitle files quickly.
