Transcript · 2 speakers, English

Here is the transcript of your customer interview, with a short summary and the main points.

  1. Speaker 1 When did you first notice the reports were taking too long?
  2. Speaker 2 Around March. We had three people copying numbers into a spreadsheet every Monday.
  3. Speaker 2 Honestly, the export button was the reason we started looking at other tools.
  • Summary: the customer moved tools because weekly reporting took three people.
  • Main points: manual copying every Monday, the export button as the trigger, a need for scheduled reports.

What is a video to text converter?

A video to text converter takes the speech in a video and writes it down. A useful one does more than list the words: it separates speakers, adds timestamps and keeps the text readable, so you can find a moment, quote someone or share the content with people who will not watch the video. It turns an hour of watching into a few minutes of reading.

People convert video to text for interviews, meetings, webinars, lectures, podcasts recorded on video, customer calls and their own content. Typing a transcript by hand takes several times the length of the recording. Automatic transcription does it in minutes, which leaves time to read, edit and use the text.

Endless transcribes the video and audio files you attach in your workspace chat. Each file is transcribed from its audio, with speakers labeled and timestamps on every word, and the spoken language is detected for you. The transcript is saved in your workspace's Transcripts section, where you can download it as plain text, text with speakers, JSON, SRT or VTT, and ask the agent questions about it in the chat.

How it works

  1. 01

    Pick your file

    Choose or drop a video or audio file in the box above. Files up to 2 GB are accepted.

  2. 02

    Sign in and attach the file again

    Create a free Endless account or sign in. Your workspace chat opens with the prompt already written. The file cannot carry over from this page, so attach it again in the chat and send.

  3. 03

    Read, export and ask

    You get the transcript with speakers and timestamps, a summary and the main points. Download it as text or subtitles, or ask for quotes and action items in the chat.

What people use it for

  1. 01

    Transcribe interviews

    Journalists, researchers and recruiters transcribe recorded interviews so they can quote people accurately and compare answers. Speaker labels keep each answer attributed, and timestamps let you go back to the video when tone or wording matters.

  2. 02

    Turn meetings into notes

    Attach a recorded meeting or webinar and get a transcript, then ask the agent for a summary, the decisions and the action items. Share the transcript with people who missed it instead of sending them an hour of video.

  3. 03

    Repurpose your videos

    Transcribe a video you made and turn it into a blog post, a newsletter, show notes or social posts. The agent works from your real words, so the written version keeps your voice. Save your brand voice to a project so every rewrite follows it.

  4. 04

    Study lectures and courses

    Transcribe a recorded lecture or course video, then search the text for a term or ask the agent to explain a section. You can ask for a summary of each part with its timestamp, so you review the material without replaying it.

  5. 05

    Analyze customer calls

    Attach recorded sales calls, support calls or focus groups and ask the agent to list recurring questions, objections and the words customers use. The agent quotes the transcript, so every finding can be checked.

  6. 06

    Make videos accessible

    A transcript makes a video usable for people who are deaf or hard of hearing and for anyone who prefers to read. Publish it next to the video, or download SRT or VTT subtitles from the same transcript.
