Video is the format most screen recordings, product demos, webinars, and recorded meetings actually get saved in — and most transcription tools want an audio file, not a video file. Transkio skips that step entirely: upload the video as-is (MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, or MPEG) and it extracts the audio track and transcribes it directly, so there's no separate conversion tool to install or export step to remember.
The result is a transcript you can edit right in the browser: click any line to jump the player to that exact moment, fix a misheard word, or rename a speaker. Free accounts can transcribe without a card and export as TXT, SRT, VTT; paid plans add DOCX and JSON with timestamps and speaker labels for teams that need to drop transcripts straight into documentation or CMS workflows.
Video Files Don't Fit Into Audio-Only Workflows
Most recordings worth transcribing — a product walkthrough, a recorded standup, a customer call captured on video — live in a video container, not a raw audio file. That usually means opening a video editor or a command-line tool just to strip out the audio track before a transcription service will even accept the upload.
Video files are also just bigger. A 20-minute screen recording can easily run several hundred megabytes to a few gigabytes once screen content is involved, which pushes past the size limits a lot of transcription tools quietly cap at.
Upload the Video. Transkio Handles the Rest
Transkio accepts video files directly — MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, and MPEG — and extracts the audio track internally before transcribing, so there's nothing to pre-process. File size limits scale with your plan to match how large video actually gets: 100MB on the free plan, up to 8GB on Ultra, which covers a full-length screen recording saved at high quality.

Frequently asked questions
Does this work with video files, or just audio?
Transkio accepts video files directly — MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, and MPEG are all supported. You don't need to extract the audio yourself first; that happens automatically after upload.
Do I need to convert my video to audio before uploading?
No. Upload the video file as-is and Transkio pulls out the audio track internally before transcribing it. There's no separate conversion step or extra tool required.
What's the maximum video file size per plan?
File size limits scale with your plan: 100MB on Free, up to 1024MB on Pro, 4096MB on Elite, and 8GB on Ultra — enough room for full-length screen recordings and webinars.
Can I get speaker labels in a video transcript?
Yes. Speaker detection is available on the Elite plan and above, so a demo or call with multiple people on camera comes back with each speaker labeled.
Can I edit the transcript after it's generated?
Yes, every transcript is editable in the browser. Click a line to jump the audio player to that exact moment, correct the text, or rename a speaker — no separate editor needed.
