MP4 transcription questions.
Can I upload an MP4 without extracting its audio?
Yes. Upload the MP4 file directly. ScribeAny transcribes speech in its audio track; you do not need to make a separate audio file.
Does this read text that appears only on screen?
No. This is speech transcription, not video-frame OCR. Words that are only visible in the picture are not extracted.
What if my MP4 contains no clear speech?
The service may return no transcript. Try a video with audible speech or a clearer recording.
Do SRT or VTT downloads change my MP4?
No. They are separate timed text files for a compatible player or editor. ScribeAny does not burn subtitles into the video.
Can I correct the transcript before downloading?
Yes. Edit the text or replace a repeated term, then export the edited result.
How large can my MP4 be?
This preview accepts MP4 files up to 100 MB. The limit is checked before upload.
Have an MP4 video with spoken audio?
Upload the MP4, check the spoken words, and download a transcript or separate subtitle file.
