Hindi 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.
The transcript opens next to a player. Click any line to replay it and correct the word in place.
Devanagari, Hinglish and Urdu words
With Hindi selected the text is written in Devanagari (हिन्दी). Hinglish videos, where speakers switch to English mid-sentence, are common; the English words may be written in English letters or in Devanagari, sometimes both ways in one video. If you need the whole transcript in Roman Hindi, ask an AI assistant to transliterate it using the AI prompt export, then check it.
Everyday Hindi uses many Urdu-origin words (zindagi, khayal, mushkil). They are written in Devanagari with or without the nukta dot (ज़ / ज), and that can vary within one transcript. Choose one style while editing if consistency matters.
Hindi videos people transcribe
Common uploads:
- YouTube and Instagram videos, for Hindi subtitles and captions.
- Recorded classes and coaching videos, for notes.
- Interviews, news clips and speeches, for quotes.
- Recorded meetings and video calls with teams in India.
- Satsang, katha and religious talks, to share as text.
Hindi subtitles and exports
Export SRT or VTT for Hindi subtitles. The files are UTF-8, so Devanagari shows in YouTube Studio and most editors; if an older editor shows boxes, choose a subtitle font that covers Devanagari, such as Noto Sans Devanagari. DOCX and PDF keep the script for printing. Speaker labels are available on paid plans and with a Minute Pack.
Accuracy and English
Clear speech gives a usable draft; music, crowd noise and several voices at once lower the accuracy, and names are the usual errors. The transcript stays in Hindi. For English, use the Google Translate link on the transcript or the AI prompt export. For audio-only recordings, see the Hindi audio to text page.
