MP3 · WAV · M4A · AAC · FLAC · OGG · MP4 · MOV · WebM
Supports MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, MP4, MOV, and WebM.
Your files never leave your device. Transcription runs locally in your browser.
Built for subtitle workflows
Every transcript keeps each segment's start and end time, so exporting SRT or VTT produces subtitles that stay in sync with your footage — not just a block of text.
- SRT
- The standard subtitle format supported by most video editors and players.
- VTT
- Built for the web — used by HTML5 video players and streaming platforms.
Supported video formats
- MP4
- The most common video container — works everywhere without conversion.
- MOV
- Apple's QuickTime format, common from iPhone recordings and Mac screen captures.
- WebM
- An open web video format, often used for screen recordings and browser-native capture.
Videos longer than 30 minutes may take a while on this device; over 60 minutes, PodText's cloud processing will be faster.
Frequently asked questions
Does the transcript include timestamps?
Yes. Every segment keeps its start and end time, which is what makes accurate SRT and VTT export possible.
Is there a video length limit?
Videos up to 1 hour and 2GB are supported. Longer files may be slow depending on your device — for those, PodText offers faster cloud processing.
Can it transcribe videos in other languages?
Yes — Whisper auto-detects the spoken language, or you can set it manually before starting.
