Serbian video to text
Drop in the video file without converting it: MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI, 3GP or a screen recording from your phone. The audio is pulled out on our server, so every timestamp still points to the right moment in the video. If the video is online, choose Import from link and paste a public link from YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo, Dropbox or Google Drive, or a direct link to the file; only the sound is downloaded.
The transcript appears next to a player with the current line highlighted. Click a line to replay it and correct the text in place.
Cyrillic or Latin script
Serbian is written in both Cyrillic (ћирилица) and Latin (latinica), and the draft may come out in either, occasionally switching within one file. There is no built-in converter, but the two scripts map almost letter for letter, so an AI assistant can convert the whole text through the AI prompt export. Check names after converting.
Spoken Serbian in vlogs is informal and full of slang and English loans (lajkovati, fejk), which the model handles reasonably well. Bosnian, Croatian and Montenegrin speakers in the same video are understood with the Serbian setting; their vocabulary is kept, though ijekavian forms (mlijeko) may sometimes be written as ekavian (mleko). Fix these while reviewing if the difference matters.
Serbian videos people bring
Typical uploads:
- Podcast episodes filmed for YouTube, for show notes and quotes.
- TV interviews and talk shows, for research and articles.
- Lectures and online courses, for study notes.
- Your own TikTok or YouTube videos, to add subtitles.
- Family videos and interviews filmed by the diaspora in Germany, Austria or Switzerland.
Serbian subtitles and exports
Export SRT or VTT for Serbian subtitles (titlovi). The files are UTF-8, so č, ć, đ, š, ž and Cyrillic characters display correctly in YouTube Studio, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and VLC. Decide on one script before exporting so the subtitles stay consistent. DOCX, PDF and TXT suit written records.
Accuracy and English
Clear speech gives a usable draft that needs a careful read, with ć and č, names and numbers being the usual corrections. Crosstalk in heated talk shows and music under the voice lower the accuracy. Speaker labels are available on paid plans and with a Minute Pack.
The transcript stays in Serbian; there is no built-in translation. To read it in English, open the Google Translate link on the transcript, or use the AI prompt export to hand the text to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. For audio-only recordings, see the Serbian audio to text page.
