Speech to Text

Transcribe the first 30 seconds of a file locally, or dictate through browser speech recognition. Live dictation may use your browser provider's service.

  • No credits needed
  • Start without an account
  • Browser-based workflow
  • No Vidgo watermark

Transcribe downloads Whisper in this browser and reads only the first 30 seconds. The file is not uploaded. Dictate still uses the browser speech recognizer, and microphone audio may be sent to the browser vendor.

    Calculations and most editing controls run in the current tab. Browser dictation and some text-to-speech voices may use your browser provider’s online service.

    Questions about Speech to Text

    Is a Vidgo account required?

    You can start these utilities without signing in, and they do not consume generation credits.

    Are all input modes processed locally?

    Calculations and most editing controls run in the page. Browser speech recognition and some spoken voices may use your browser provider’s service; file-based Whisper transcription runs locally.

    Do I have to install an app?

    No desktop installation is needed. A feature may fetch its processing library or model the first time you use it.

    Can I work from a phone?

    A current mobile browser supports many of these tasks. Keyboard, mouse, screen-capture and larger-model workflows depend on device support and are often easier on a computer.
