Video Transcribe
Video Transcribe is a free, browser-based AI transcription tool that converts video and audio files into text. Users can upload files in formats such as MP4, MOV, M4V, MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, and FLAC (up to 2GB per file) or paste a YouTube link.

Beyond transcription, Video Transcribe provides an AI-generated summary with key points, action items, decisions, and quotes, using templates for meetings, interviews, sales calls, or general content. Transcripts can be copied, shared, or exported to TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON. The platform requires no sign-up or credit card and states that files are deleted after processing, emphasizing privacy.
