Video To Text API
Add fast, accurate transcription to your product with a production-ready API for video, audio, timestamps, and searchable text.
What it is
Speech-to-text infrastructure for modern apps
Video To Text API turns recordings, meetings, interviews, lessons, and media libraries into clean text your product can search, summarize, subtitle, and automate.
Get full text, timestamped chunks, word timings, source metadata, task status, and billing fields.
Use balanced for everyday workloads, or switch to precision for quality-sensitive content.
