Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I convert a video to text?
- Upload your video to EditClips.online, select the AI model, and click Process. The AI extracts the audio, transcribes every spoken word, and outputs an SRT file with timestamps. The entire process runs on GPU servers and typically takes just a few minutes.
- Can I transcribe a meeting or lecture recording?
- Yes. AI handles long-form recordings including meetings, lectures, webinars, and conference talks. For best results, use the large-v3 model which excels at recognizing different speakers and handling overlapping speech. The output includes timestamps for easy reference.
- Does it work with audio files too?
- Yes. You can upload video files (MP4, MKV, MOV) or audio files. If you only have video but need the audio separately, use our extract audio tool first, or simply upload the video directly — the AI extracts the audio track automatically.
- How accurate is the AI transcription?
- AI large-v3 achieves near-human accuracy on clear audio. Accuracy varies with audio quality, background noise, accents, and speaking speed. Meeting recordings in a quiet room transcribe with very few errors. Noisy environments or heavy accents may need some manual corrections.
- Can I use the transcript for video subtitles?
- Absolutely. The SRT output is a standard subtitle file. Upload it to YouTube, Vimeo, or any platform that accepts SRT subtitles. Or use our burn subtitles tool to permanently embed the text into the video for social media where subtitle files aren't supported.
- What is the maximum video length I can transcribe?
- There's no hard length limit. The processing time and credit cost scale with video duration. Short clips (under 5 minutes) process in under a minute. Hour-long recordings take several minutes on GPU servers. The large-v3 model is recommended for longer content due to its superior accuracy.
