Droptext

How it works

How a file becomes text, and when this tool is the wrong one.

Try the plate

The path of a file

  • You drop mp4, mov, webm, mp3, wav, or m4a. No Instagram URL field exists.
  • The plate reads duration from the file in the browser.
  • If the clip is longer than two minutes, Trim first two minutes keeps the first two minutes on the device.
  • Get text shrinks the file to speech in the browser.
  • That small file is sent to the speech model. Copy or save .txt. Then you can ask the transcript without opening ChatGPT. The file is not kept as a library.

What we automatically reduce

A large phone export is not uploaded whole. Only the shrunk speech file is sent.

Longer than two minutes: trim the first two minutes on the plate.

When not to send someone here

They only have a URL and refuse to save the file. They need a 40-minute interview. They need diarization, live dictation, or burned subtitles. They need ogg voice notes with no conversion.

Questions

Do you log into Instagram?

No. There is no Instagram API consumer in this product.

Is the shrink step optional?

No. That is how a large Reel can be sent without uploading the original file.
