How to transcribe video
- 1
Upload your video file
Drag your video directly into CentClip - MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WEBM, and most other common formats are accepted without any prior conversion. No account or login is required to get started, and your first 5 minutes process free so you can check the output quality on a short clip before purchasing any credits. CentClip works with footage from any source: screen recordings, camera files, platform downloads, or exports from a video editor.

Select your language and review the transcript
Choose the spoken language from 50+ supported options so the transcription engine applies the right vocabulary and acoustic model for your content. The transcript appears in a built-in editor where you can correct names, technical terms, or any word the recognizer missed before you export. Most videos under an hour finish processing in a few minutes.

Download your transcript or captioned video
Export a plain text transcript for documentation or search indexing, an SRT or VTT file to upload to YouTube, Vimeo, or a learning platform, or a burned-in MP4 with captions permanently embedded in the video. All four output formats - plain text, SRT, VTT, and MP4 - are included in the same per-minute processing cost with no add-on fees.
Why choose CentClip?
Video transcription work comes in batches - you shouldn't pay for quiet months
Most people don't transcribe video at a steady, predictable rate. A research project finishes, a course launch wraps, or an interview series ends, and there's nothing to process for weeks or months. Subscription transcription services charge you through that downtime. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute only when you upload - transcribing a 20-minute interview costs $1.00 - and any credits you buy carry forward indefinitely so the balance is still there when the next project starts.
Every output format you need is included at no extra charge
Video transcription rarely ends at the transcript itself. An editor may need a plain text file for notes, a publisher needs an SRT to attach to a platform upload, an accessibility team needs a VTT, and a distribution team needs a burned-in MP4 for social. CentClip produces all four from a single upload without charging separately for each format, so you can hand off the right file to every stakeholder without re-processing the video.
Test accuracy on your actual footage before spending anything
Speech recognition performance depends heavily on audio quality, accents, and subject-matter vocabulary - conditions that vary significantly between a studio interview and a field recording. CentClip's free first 5 minutes require no account and no credit card, so you can upload a representative clip of your video and evaluate the transcript before committing any budget. If corrections are needed, the inline editor lets you fix them without re-uploading the full file.

Your first 5 minutes are free with no account or credit card required. After that, transcription costs 5 cents per minute - a 30-minute video costs $1.50. There is no subscription.
What video formats does CentClip accept, and what can I export?
