Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is video to text transcription?

    Video to text transcription is the process of converting a video into a text file. From journalists needing to select a quote for their article from a recent interview, to businessmen needing a written record of a meeting, to a student wanting study notes from a lecture, there are plenty of scenarios where having a text file is more convenient than a video recording.

  • What are the main ways to convert video to text?

    There are three main methods to do so; doing it yourself (DIY), using an automatic transcription software, or using a human transcription service. Happy Scribe offers all three options. Manually converting your video to text is the free method, but also extremely time-consuming. Our automatic transcription software uses the state-of-the-art speech recognition technology to transcribe your video in a few minutes with 85% accuracy. Our human transcription service provides the highest accuracy rate and delivers in 24 hours.
