How It Works
When you are unsure whether your file is MP4, MOV, or WebM, start here. Listeny accepts broad video/* uploads, extracts audio, and returns transcripts plus optional SRT/VTT caption files for accessibility compliance.
Use Cases
Compliance officers caption training videos, marketers mine webinar recordings for blog posts, and accessibility specialists generate WCAG-friendly captions without desktop software.
Limitations
DRM-protected streaming files cannot be uploaded. Export a local copy from your editor or screen recorder first. Silent B-roll without narration produces empty transcripts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from MP4 to Text? +
MP4 to Text is tuned for .mp4 files. Video to Text accepts multiple video containers when you want one flexible upload page.
Can I get captions for YouTube? +
Download SRT from Listeny and upload it in YouTube Studio if you own the video rights.
Are uploads stored? +
No. Video is processed temporarily and deleted after transcription.
What if my video has no speech? +
The transcript will be empty or minimal. Use speech-to-text on audio-only exports when video track is unnecessary.
