How VideoToText Works
VideoToText uses cutting-edge AI technology to convert videos into accurate text transcriptions. Here's a detailed look at how our tool works.
Step-by-Step Process
1 Paste Your Video URL
Copy the URL of any video from YouTube, Instagram, or X (Twitter) and paste it into our converter. We support standard URLs and shortened links.
2 Audio Extraction
When you click "Convert," our system downloads the video and extracts the audio track. This happens on our secure servers – nothing is stored on your device.
3 AI Transcription
The audio is sent to our AI engine powered by Whisper, the world's most accurate speech recognition model. It automatically detects the language and transcribes every word.
4 Get Your Results
Within seconds, you receive your complete transcription. You can copy it to your clipboard or download it as a TXT file, SRT subtitles, or VTT captions.
The Technology Behind It
Whisper AI
We use OpenAI's Whisper large-v3 model, trained on 680,000+ hours of multilingual audio. This model achieved near-human accuracy in speech recognition benchmarks.
Groq Inference
Our AI runs on Groq's LPU (Language Processing Unit) infrastructure, delivering transcriptions up to 10x faster than traditional GPU systems.
