Compatibility at a glance

Weeve accepts .mp4 files with the video/mp4 or audio/mp4 MIME types. The browser must be able to decode the audio codec inside the container, and the audio can run up to 60 minutes.

  • video/mp4
  • audio/mp4

How it works

Four clear steps from local file to reviewed text.

  1. 01

    Choose the video

    Select an MP4 with up to 60 minutes of audio.

  2. 02

    Extract the audio

    The browser reads the audio track in memory. The picture is not analyzed.

  3. 03

    Write out the speech

    Local workers transcribe the words and attempt speaker separation.

  4. 04

    Take the text

    Copy the result or export plain text, Markdown, or PDF.

Product details

Practical details for mp4 to text.

Get the words out of a video

Webinars, lectures, screen recordings, and recorded interviews hold speech you may want to skim, search, or quote. Text lets you do that without scrubbing through a timeline.

Export the recording from its source first. Weeve works on the local file you select, not on links or platform accounts.

Speech from the audio track only

Weeve transcribes what was said. Slides, captions burned into the frames, and other on-screen text are not read, because the video track is never inspected.

Two MP4s can behave differently in the same browser when they carry different audio codecs. Common AAC tracks usually decode without trouble.

Cleaning up the text afterwards

Review names, acronyms, and specialist terms in the draft. Speaker separation groups voices into numbered labels you can rename, with a manual count from 1 to 8 when the automatic guess is off.

Exports reflect the reviewed transcript, so fix the labels before you download the text.

Your recording stays here

Recording bytes, decoded audio, transcript text, and speaker names stay on this page. Speech models download from Weeve’s CDN.

A transcript you can review

Timestamps and speaker labels stay editable before export.

Great. I renamed your speaker label, so the exported notes will use your name.
