Best Ways to Turn Videos Into Text Easily

Are there any tools that also translate the text after transcribing? Like for multilingual content?

I found some mobile apps decent for small clips but they usually limit length or have ads.

I just started using Descript and really like how it edits video by editing text, super handy.

I just want something that works fast and doesn’t require me to upload sensitive videos online.

Have you guys noticed that some tools charge by minute but are kinda pricey?

Has anyone tried open source options for this? Curious if they can compete with the paid ones.

Sometimes I wish the tools could detect speakers automatically. That’d save a lot of editing time.

Sometimes the AI gets confused with accents or overlapping speech. It's not perfect yet.

What about tools that do the conversion and also summarize the text? Anyone tried that?

For quick stuff, I like using online tools that don't require install, but for bigger projects I go for desktop apps.

Anyone tried Google Docs voice typing for transcription? It’s free but I’m not sure if it works for pre-recorded videos.

I've used a couple of apps for this, and honestly, the accuracy varies a lot. Some miss words especially when there's background noise.

I’m amazed how far this tech has come in just a few years. From manual typing to decent AI transcription now!

The best results I got were from tools that support editing the transcription text and syncing with the video.

Sometimes I just do it manually cuz the AI tools mess up names and technical terms too much.
