Online, from the file
Video to text
“Video to text online” is a huge query. Most results want a YouTube URL. Droptext is for a file on your phone or laptop — a Reel export, a screen recording, a voice-over take.
Drop a videoWhy the browser shrinks the file first
Phone exports are heavy. Droptext pulls the speech in your browser and only then sends a small file. If the clip is longer than two minutes, trim the first two minutes on the plate.
Formats
mp4, mov, and webm for video. If your editor only gave you audio, use the audio-to-text page and drop mp3, wav, or m4a.
Who this helps
- Editors who need a paper edit from a talking-head take.
- Students pulling a quote from a recorded lecture clip under two minutes.
- Support folks turning a bug-report screen recording into a ticket body.
Questions
Can I drop a 10-minute lecture?
Trim the first two minutes on the plate, or export a shorter clip.
Do you add YouTube by URL?
No. Download or export a file you have a right to use, then drop it.
