From Gujarati video to text
Upload the video file as it is: MP4, MOV, M4V, WEBM, MKV, AVI or a phone screen recording. There is no need to convert it to audio first; the sound is taken out on our side and the timestamps stay aligned with the original video. If the video is on YouTube or TikTok, choose Import from link and paste the public link instead, and only the audio is fetched.
Long videos are fine: katha, satsang and pravachan recordings, wedding videos and family interviews often run an hour or more. The transcript opens next to a player, so you can click any line and listen while you correct it.
Gujarati script, Gujlish and English words
With Gujarati selected, the text is written in Gujarati script (ગુજરાતી). There is no built-in output in Latin letters. If family members abroad read Gujarati only in romanised form, paste the text into an AI assistant with the AI prompt export and ask for a transliteration, then check it.
Everyday Gujarati, especially in the diaspora in the UK, US, Canada and East Africa, is full of English: phone, office, meeting, booking. Those words may come out in English spelling or written in Gujarati script, sometimes both ways in one video. Hindi phrases in a mostly Gujarati video are usually written in Gujarati script too.
Gujarati has less training data than Hindi or the big European languages. Clear speech gives a usable draft, but read it carefully, especially names, places and religious or community terms.
Gujarati videos people transcribe
Common uploads:
- Katha, bhajan introductions, satsang and pravachan recordings, to share as text.
- Interviews with grandparents and elders, for family history in the diaspora.
- YouTube and Instagram cooking, comedy and vlog videos, for subtitles and captions.
- Business meetings and video calls with suppliers or family firms in Gujarat.
- Recorded classes and coaching sessions taught in Gujarati.
Gujarati subtitles and documents
Export SRT or VTT for Gujarati subtitles. The files are UTF-8, so Gujarati script shows in YouTube Studio and most video editors; if an older editor shows boxes, switch its subtitle font to one that covers Gujarati, such as Noto Sans Gujarati. DOCX and PDF keep the script for printing and sharing.
Timestamps and speaker names can be switched on or off in each export. Speaker labels are available on paid plans and with a Minute Pack.
Reading it in English
RocketScribe writes down the Gujarati that was spoken and does not translate it. Use the Google Translate link on the transcript to read it in English, or the AI prompt export to ask ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini for a translation or a summary. Your files are never used to train AI models. For audio-only recordings, see the Gujarati audio to text page.
