LipRead AI
LipRead AI is a cloud-based platform that uses AI to perform visual speech recognition, enabling users to generate text transcripts from silent or muted video files. Users upload videos in formats such as MP4, MOV, AVI, WEBM, or MKV (up to 2GB), and the system analyzes facial movements and lip patterns frame-by-frame to extract speech. The service claims to support over 50 languages and achieve up to 99% accuracy. After processing, users can review and edit the transcript within the web interface and export it in SRT, VTT, TXT, or JSON formats. It offers both free and paid subscription plans.
