Try a Real File Before You Pay

The free hour is designed for a meaningful test, not a tiny demo. Upload real work, see the output quality, test summaries and chat, then decide whether a paid plan makes sense.

Model families: AssemblyAI Universal speech models, GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Opus 4.5, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and Gemini 3 Flash Preview.

Average 5-minute turnaround

A clear speed promise beats vague wait times, so users know what to expect before they upload.

Private by default

Files stay in your workspace, are not used for model training, and original media is deleted after processing.

Speaker names and roles

Use speaker labels, then provide known names or roles like Host, Guest, Agent, or Customer when the recording needs clarity.

Top-tier AI built in

Summaries and chat use premium model families, so you do not need separate API keys or extra setup.

How it works

How to Turn a Video Into Text in 3 Steps

FastScribeX keeps the workflow simple: upload the file, let AI process it, then review and export the text you need.

1

Upload your video

Add an MP4, MOV, WebM, or common audio file. Use your free hour across multiple files.

2

AI does the heavy lifting

Most files finish in about 5 minutes, with timestamps, speaker labels, and optional names or roles.

3

Review and export

Search, summarize, ask questions, create subtitles, then export TXT, SRT, or VTT.

Once the video is converted, we can search the whole conversation and tag the follow-up items.

Export the notes and the subtitles so the content team can reuse this recording.

Extract the Speech From a Video Without Manual Typing

Video files are useful, but they are slow to search. FastScribeX converts spoken content into structured text, so a long recording becomes easy to scan, quote, summarize, and turn into captions.

Built for real work

More Than Basic Captions

Use one workflow to review, summarize, caption, and reuse your video content.

Searchable text

Turn long videos into text you can scan

Stop scrubbing through a timeline to find one quote. Once a video is converted, every topic, decision, and phrase becomes searchable.

Timestamps for every segment
Keyword search across the text
Readable paragraphs instead of raw captions

Speaker names

Know who said what, not just when they spoke

FastScribeX separates voices and supports known speaker names or roles, so interviews, calls, and panels are easier to review and share.

Automatic speaker detection
Names or role labels for key speakers
Cleaner notes for multi-person recordings

AI summary

Get the point without replaying the full recording

After conversion, create a structured summary, pull action items, and ask follow-up questions about the content.
