Portuguese 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 hear it again and correct it in place.
Brazilian and European Portuguese
There is one Portuguese setting for both Brazil and Portugal, and both transcribe well. Spelling follows the speech: a Brazilian video tends to come out with Brazilian forms and vocabulary (ônibus, você, a gente), a Lisbon one with European forms (autocarro, tu). Spelling details such as facto versus fato, or António versus Antônio, can vary, so set one standard and check it while editing if a client requires it.
Portuguese from Angola, Mozambique and Cape Verde is recognised too, though it has less training data, so expect a few more fixes.
Portuguese videos people transcribe
Common uploads:
- YouTube, TikTok and Reels videos, for legendas and captions.
- Aulas and recorded webinars, for notes and a TCC.
- Interviews filmed for research or journalism.
- Recorded Zoom, Teams and Meet meetings, for an ata.
- Church services and sermons streamed in Portuguese.
Portuguese subtitles (legendas) and exports
Export SRT or VTT for Portuguese subtitles in YouTube Studio, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or CapCut, with ã, õ, ç and accents intact. DOCX and PDF suit an ata or a thesis appendix, and CSV gives one row per line for research coding. Speaker labels are available on paid plans and with a Minute Pack.
Accuracy and English
Clear speech gives a draft that needs only light edits; music and crosstalk lower the accuracy. The transcript stays in Portuguese. For English, use the Google Translate link on the transcript or the AI prompt export. For audio-only recordings, see the Portuguese audio to text page.
