How To Use the Convert Audio & Video to Text tool

01

Upload Your Audio or Video File

Choose the Language and Start Transcribing

Once your file is uploaded or the YouTube link is added, choose the language and click the "Do the magic!" button. The tool will automatically begin transcribing the audio or video to text, providing you with a full transcript of the spoken content.

You can use it in various ways — for example, creating comprehension tasks, using it as reading material, or teaching vocabulary, grammar, or pronunciation by focusing on how words are spoken in context.
