MP4 transcription FAQs

How do I convert an MP4 to text?+

Drag your MP4 into the uploader (or paste a video URL), and Pxlify extracts the audio, runs it through the Whisper speech model, and returns a timestamped transcript you can edit and export — no install required.

Is the MP4 transcript generator free?+

Yes. You can generate an MP4 transcript and export SRT, VTT, and TXT subtitles on the free tier. Pxlify Pro lifts the file-size and length limits for longer videos.

Can I export my MP4 transcript as SRT or VTT?+

Yes. Once your MP4 is transcribed, export it to SRT for YouTube and most players, WebVTT for the web, or plain TXT with optional timestamps.

How accurate is MP4 transcription?+

Pxlify uses OpenAI's Whisper model, which delivers strong accuracy on clear English MP4 audio across accents, technical vocabulary, and multi-speaker recordings.

Can I transcribe an MP4 from a URL instead of uploading?+

Yes. Paste a public MP4 link — YouTube, Dropbox, Google Drive, Vimeo, and more — and Pxlify imports it straight into the Transcription Studio.
