Video to Text

### High-quality transcription

Video to Text uses AssemblyAI’s transcription API to provide high-accuracy speech recognition. The service is suitable for long-form content and practical transcription use cases such as interviews, meetings, lectures, webinars, and recorded videos.

### Multi-language support

The product supports 99 languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese. It also supports automatic language detection, which reduces setup friction for users who work with mixed or unknown-language media.

### Multi-language content handling

If a single media file contains multiple languages, the transcription pipeline is designed to recognize them more effectively than a single-language workflow. This is useful for international interviews, multilingual conferences, and creator content with code-switching.

### Speaker diarization

Speaker diarization is supported, allowing the transcript to distinguish between different speakers and label them accordingly. This is especially valuable for meetings, panel discussions, podcasts, and interviews where speaker attribution matters.

### Timestamped output

The transcript can include timestamps, which is important for subtitle generation, editing, and search-driven workflows. Timestamped exports make it easier to align text with the original audio or video.

### Flexible import and export

The product supports multiple media formats on input and multiple text-based formats on output. This gives users a simple path from raw media to caption files, plain text, or spreadsheet-friendly records.

Video to Text is useful for:

1. Content creators who need subtitles for videos

2. Knowledge workers who want meeting notes

3. Journalists transcribing interview recordings
