Video to Text Converter

What the converter listens to

Markovo transcribes the selected default audio track in an MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM, MKV, AVI or WMV file. It does not describe scenes, read silent slide text or recognize words that appear only in the picture. A silent video or a file without an audio track cannot produce a speech transcript.

A larger picture does not mean more speech

File size and duration are separate checks. A short high-bitrate screen recording can be larger than a long compressed lecture. Before uploading, check both the account byte allowance and the audio duration. Compressing the picture can reduce upload time; avoid unnecessarily degrading the soundtrack that the speech recognizer needs.

Review a video transcript efficiently

Use the timestamps to revisit a claim in the original recording. Check technical terms, names and sections with background music or several people talking. TXT is useful for search and pasting into notes; DOCX is convenient for editing and sharing with colleagues. Neither export is a subtitle file, a translation or a frame-by-frame analysis of the video.

File limits and account allowance

Free: 25 MB per file. Starter and Pro: 50 MB per file. Maximum 60 minutes per file under the currently active limits. Sizes use binary units: 1 MB = 1,048,576 bytes. Sign in for the Free allowance; a guest preview is not the same as a Free account.

The planned video tiers are Free 200 MB / 1 hour, Starter 700 MB / 2 hours and Pro 2 GB / 2 hours (2 GB = 2,147,483,648 bytes). They remain unavailable until large-file cost and reliability checks pass. The active upload allowance and estimate determine what you can submit today.

Free includes 25 Credits per month. Starter is $3.99 per month with 200 Credits, and Pro is $7.99 per month with 500 Credits. Paid plans do not remove file validation or the need for a sufficient balance. See pricing and Credits for the current catalog.

Estimate, processing and downloads

Media costs 0.5 Credit per measured minute, with a 0.3 Credit minimum. A 10-minute recording needs 5 Credits; 60 minutes needs 30 Credits. Free includes 25 monthly Credits, about 50 minutes before other use. A maximum-size allowance does not grant extra Credits.

Upload time depends on the connection and source size. Processing also depends on duration, page complexity and queue load; the estimate and task progress are indicative, not a fixed completion promise. Large uploads can resume missing parts. Failed processing releases reserved Credits; a successful task settles once.

Reader displays the same canonical result for TXT, Word and Markdown. Switching exports does not start another conversion. DOCX supports editable headings, lists, tables, links and supported result-owned images. TXT keeps readable text and table cells. The Word exporter accepts up to 1 MB of canonical Markdown, 2,000 content blocks, 512 table cells and 32 images, with 2 MB per image and 8 MB of image data; use the Markdown image bundle for larger documents.

Retention and review

Free results are retained for 1 hour, Starter for 7 days and Pro for 30 days after completion. The task shows the exact expiry. Download before it expires, or delete it early from History. Temporary sources are removed after processing or expiry; a guest-preview original can remain available until its preview session expires. Review uncertain words, table order and important figures before reuse. Read the privacy policy for processing details.
