Generate a video transcript in seconds with industry-leading AI transcription that includes speaker labels, time codes, and even chapters. Descript’s free video transcript generator is perfect for marketing videos, podcasts, YouTube videos, subtitles, and more.
Create a new project in Descript and upload the video files you want to transcribe by dragging and dropping them into the editor. You’ll be prompted to choose a transcription language. If there are multiple voices, you’ll be asked to identify the number of speakers, as well as their names and voices so Descript can automatically label them for you within the video transcript.
By default, deleting or editing the text in your transcript will edit your video too. So you’ll want to enter Correct mode by pressing ‘C’ or highlighting and right-clicking on the text you want to correct. This lets you correct the text or all instances of a transcription error while keeping the text and audio in sync. Alternatively, you can use Write mode (CMD+E or CTRL+E) to freely edit the transcript as you would a doc.
When you’re happy with your transcript, export it by going to Publish > Export > Transcript. Choose your preferred format: Microsoft Word (.docx), HTML (.html), Markdown (.md), Plain text (.txt), or Rich Text Format (.rtf). Then customize the settings for speaker labels, timecodes, and chapter markers. Finally, click export to download the transcription file or copy the transcript to your clipboard.
