Upload the AVI
Choose one playable AVI up to 5 GB. You do not need to extract the audio first.
- 02

WATCH, LISTEN, CHECK
Review the transcript against the source video
Keep the AVI source beside the draft when your browser can play its codecs. Follow timestamps, rename speakers, and save corrections before export; text review and export remain available when native playback is not.
- Play the source video beside the transcript when the browser supports its codecs
- Jump to timed phrases and check uncertain wording
- Rename speaker labels for a readable conversation
- Save edits before exporting text or timed captions
CONTAINER, AUDIO TRACK, SPEECH
What matters before you transcribe an AVI
AVI is a RIFF-based media container, not a guaranteed codec or transcript quality. The workflow listens to the audio track rather than reading video frames, and browser playback depends on the codecs inside the file.
Check the audio track
Confirm the AVI contains an audible speech track with a compatible player. Silent scenes, slides, and on-screen text do not become transcript content.
Know what AVI means
AVI can contain many legacy and modern video or audio codecs. The video/x-msvideo identity and RIFF header still need to pass type, size, and duration validation, and browser playback is not guaranteed.
Prioritize clear speech
Voice level, microphone distance, background music, noise, and overlapping speakers matter more than video resolution.
Plan larger uploads
Keep the file within 5 GB. Higher resolution can make an AVI larger without adding useful evidence for speech transcription.
FROM VIDEO TO WORKING TEXT
Where AVI transcripts do useful work
An AVI transcript makes spoken video easier to search, edit, quote, document, and caption without claiming to analyze the picture.
Screen recordings and demos
Turn narrated walkthroughs and product demonstrations into searchable text while reviewing details against the video.
Interviews and meetings
Create an editable transcript with speaker labels you can verify and rename.
Lectures and training
Build notes or timed captions from spoken lessons, webinars, and recorded training.
Recorded presentations
Reuse the words that were spoken while keeping visual-only slide text outside the transcript unless you add it yourself.
AVI TRANSCRIPTION FAQ
Before you convert AVI to text
Practical answers about AVI audio tracks, containers, visual-only content, credits, exports, and source-video access.
Yes. A playable AVI with a supported video/x-msvideo identity can be uploaded directly, so you do not need to extract its audio first.
No. The workflow transcribes spoken audio. Slides, screen text, charts, handwriting, silent scenes, and burned-in captions are not read with OCR or visual analysis.
No. AVI is a RIFF-based media container, and the extension alone does not guarantee a particular video or audio codec. The file must pass type, size, RIFF-header, and duration validation; browser playback is not guaranteed and the service does not transcode it.
A video without clear speech may produce little text or no usable transcript. Visual content is not used to fill in speech that is not present in the audio track.
The per-file upload limit is 5 GB. Upload one playable video at a time, and remember that higher resolution can increase file size without improving speech recognition.
The service supports 99 languages. New accounts receive 10 signup credits with no credit card required, and one credit covers one minute of transcription.
When the browser supports the codecs inside the AVI, you can play the source beside the transcript during the retention window. If native playback is unavailable, you can still inspect uncertain phrases, rename speakers, save edits, and export the transcript.
Export TXT or Markdown for editable text, or SRT and VTT for transcript timing. These exports do not extract embedded captions, generate a summary, or translate the video.
The source video remains available for review for up to seven days from task creation and can be deleted sooner. Saved text remains available for review and export.
