Paste the link to a video and get its words back — nothing to download first.
Cloud drives, shared recordings, public pages. 99 languages, free to start.
The link must be publicly accessible.
The video can stay where it is — on a drive, in a shared folder, on a public page. Paste the link and the words come back to you.
A Google Drive or Dropbox share link, a public page, or a direct file URL — whatever the person who has the video sent you.
The audio is fetched from that address and converted to punctuated, timestamped text. Nothing lands in your Downloads folder and nothing eats your disk.
Read it against the player, then save as TXT, DOCX or PDF — or export SRT / VTT captions for whoever owns the video.
Some videos are too big, not yours, or simply not worth pulling onto a laptop just to hear what was said.
The conferencing tool leaves a huge file in the cloud — you need the words, not the gigabytes.
Someone shares a Drive or Dropbox folder; you get the transcript without asking for a copy of the file.
A talk or a briefing published online converts from its address, with nothing installed and nothing saved.
On a work laptop with no space and no installs allowed, a link is the only route to the text.
Fetching just the audio beats downloading the whole video twice — once to your device, once back up.
You never take a copy of the footage; you keep only the transcript you were after.
Downloading a video to get at its words is the long way round: you wait for gigabytes you do not want, park them on a disk that has no room, and then delete them an hour later. Pasting a link skips that whole loop — the audio is read from where the video already lives and comes back as punctuated, timestamped text in 99 languages. The file stays with its owner, your machine stays clean, and what you actually wanted — the words — arrives in minutes.
Paste the video's address in place of an upload; the audio is fetched from it and converted to timestamped text you can edit and export.
No. Only the audio is fetched, on our side — nothing is saved to your device, and your disk space is untouched.
Google Drive and Dropbox shares, direct file URLs, and public video pages. If the page needs a login, the link will not open.
Download the file once yourself and upload it — the conversion is identical, only the route differs.
Yes — a link-converted video exports the same SRT and VTT files as an uploaded one.
Video-to-text is free within a monthly minutes allowance; Pro adds long videos and unlimited uploads.
Go Pro to transcribe hours of audio and video, with more monthly minutes and unlimited uploads — accurate text in 99 languages.
