Vietnamese video in
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.
If a Facebook or Zalo video link does not import, download the video and upload the file. The transcript opens next to the player and each line plays on click.
Tone marks and regional accents
Vietnamese uses the Latin alphabet with tone marks and extra letters (ă, â, đ, ê, ô, ơ, ư), and one wrong tone changes the word. The draft writes full diacritics, and the usual errors are tones and similar-sounding syllables. Exports are UTF-8, so text stays correct in Word and subtitle files without legacy fonts.
Northern (Hà Nội), Central (Huế) and Southern (Sài Gòn) accents are all recognised. Southern speakers merge some sounds that Northern speakers keep apart, so expect more fixes like d, gi and v, or final n and ng. Central accents are the hardest. English words in business and tech videos usually come out in English.
Vietnamese videos people transcribe
Common uploads:
- YouTube vlogs, reviews and TikTok clips, for subtitles.
- Recorded lectures and online courses, for study notes.
- Buddhist dharma talks, to share as text.
- News segments and interviews, for quotes.
- Family videos and elders' stories filmed by Vietnamese families in the US, Australia or France.
Vietnamese subtitles and exports
Export SRT or VTT for Vietnamese subtitles (phụ đề). The files load into YouTube Studio, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and CapCut with diacritics intact. Correct the transcript first; the subtitle file is built from the edited text. DOCX and PDF suit reports and study notes, and CSV lists each line with its start time.
Accuracy and English
Clear speech gives a good draft that needs a careful read for tones, names and numbers. Background music, karaoke and fast group conversation need more editing. Speaker labels are available on paid plans and with a Minute Pack.
The transcript stays in Vietnamese; 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 Vietnamese audio to text page.
