What is media transcription?

A media transcript is a text file taken from audio or video recordings. It can be a piece of song, a show, documentary, lecture, or any other type of media.

How long does it take to transcribe media?

It usually takes half the length of your recording - a 10-minute video will take less than five minutes to transcribe. VEED is designed for speed and accuracy, but the automatic generation of transcripts will depend on the length of your video or audio recording.

Is the media transcription tool free?

Our transcription tool is free to try, and you can export a video with subtitles. Regular transcription and downloadable files require a paid subscription. View our pricing page for more information.

Save time and money with automated transcription that’s ready in minutes, while maintaining flexibility to polish results.
