Getting the text of a YouTube video is useful for writing an article, reviewing a lecture, quoting an interview or creating subtitles. Instead of typing everything by hand, Voqia's AI automatically transcribes a video's audio into accurate text, in English and more than 13 languages.
Why transcribe a YouTube video?
A transcript makes your content accessible, reusable and searchable. Creators use it to generate subtitles and boost their channel's SEO, students to turn a recorded lecture into notes, journalists to quote a statement precisely. Text can be searched, copied and translated — a video cannot.
Transcribe a YouTube video in 3 steps
- Get the video's audio (or record the sound while it plays), then open Voqia.fr and sign in for free with Google.
- In File mode, upload the audio or video file (MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV up to 500 MB). Pick the language or let auto-detection handle it.
- Start the transcription. Within minutes, get timestamped text that you can copy, export or translate.
Generate subtitles for your videos
From the timestamped transcript, Voqia gives you structured text ready to become subtitles. Combined with diarization, it also separates speakers — handy for interviews and panel discussions.
Multilingual transcription and translation
Voqia transcribes more than 13 languages and can translate the result on the fly. You can transcribe an English video and get its French version directly, or the other way around, to reach an international audience.
