Polish 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 beside a player. Click any line to replay it and correct it where you are.
Diacritics, cases and names
All nine Polish letters with diacritics (ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż) are kept in the transcript and every export. The pairs that sound alike, ó and u, rz and ż, h and ch, are spelled from context; the model usually gets common words right, and rarer words and surnames are the ones to check.
Polish names change with grammatical case (Kowalski, Kowalskiego, Kowalskim), so a name may appear in several forms in one transcript. That is correct Polish, not an error. Foreign names and brands are written as heard and are worth a quick look.

Polish subtitles (napisy) and exports
Export SRT or VTT to add Polish subtitles in YouTube Studio, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or VLC; the files are UTF-8, so Polish letters display correctly. DOCX and PDF suit reports and theses, and CSV gives one row per line for coding interviews. Speaker labels are available on paid plans and with a Minute Pack.
Accuracy and English
Clear speech gives a good draft; crosstalk, music and a far-off microphone lower the accuracy. The transcript stays in Polish. To read it in English, use the Google Translate link on the transcript or the AI prompt export. For audio-only recordings, see the Polish audio to text page.
