Why Is Transkriptor the Best VLC Transcriber?

Works With Every File VLC Plays
No ripping, no converting, no compatibility headaches. Transkriptor accepts the same wide range of formats VLC handles, such as MP3, MP4, WAV, AAC, M4A, and MKV, so you can upload your file exactly as it is and get text back.
Separate Speakers and Include Timestamps
Transkriptor accurately identifies different speakers in the audio and timestamps every line.
Generate Subtitles
Export your transcript in subtitle formats like SRT and VTT to add captions to your videos in seconds.

Hear it From Our Users
I have folders full of recorded interviews I used to open in VLC and type out by hand — it took forever. Now I just drag the file into Transkriptor and the transcript is ready before I finish my notes. The speaker labels and timestamps mean I can jump straight to the quote I need.
