Video Transcription You Can Edit, Caption, and Cut From
Video transcription in BlitzCut starts as soon as you import your video. Fix the text, delete the parts you don't want, translate it, and export captions, all on iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Most video transcription tools hand you a text file and stop. You then paste it somewhere, line it up with the footage, and caption the video in another app.
In BlitzCut the transcript is the working surface. Every word is tied to its timestamp, so correcting a mistake fixes the caption, and deleting a sentence cuts the video. You can also export the result as a plain-text transcript (.txt) or an SRT subtitle file when you need one.
Everything you need, in one app

Frequently asked questions
- How do I transcribe a video to text?
- Import the video into an app that transcribes speech automatically. In BlitzCut the transcript appears as soon as the video is imported, and you can correct it in place. For a plain text transcript with nothing else, a dedicated transcription tool is also fine.
- Can I export the transcript as text or an SRT file?
- Yes. BlitzCut exports an SRT file with timestamps, which YouTube accepts as a caption upload, and a plain .txt file with the text only. It doesn't export DOCX.
- Is video transcription free?
- Several tools have free tiers with monthly limits. BlitzCut is free to download with a 3-day free trial, then needs a paid plan.
- How accurate is automatic video transcription?
- Clear speech in a quiet room is usually transcribed accurately, and background noise, heavy accents, overlapping speakers, and technical terms lower accuracy. Plan to correct names and jargon whichever tool you use.
- Does BlitzCut upload my video for transcription?
- The video file isn't uploaded, but the audio track is sent to a cloud service to be transcribed, so transcription needs an internet connection.
- Can BlitzCut separate different speakers?
- It doesn't label or separate individual speakers. For interviews recorded on separate tracks, a tool with speaker separation fits better.
