# Video to Text Converter

Upload a video or paste a link and Cliphi turns the whole thing into clean, readable text.

## How it works

1. **Paste a link or upload a file** Drop in a supported video link or upload a video or audio file. Cliphi pulls the audio for you.
2. **AI transcribes every word** Whisper-grade transcription turns the whole thing into clean, readable text, with the language detected for you.
3. **Read it, or turn it into clips** Get the full transcript to read, copy, or search. If you want, let Cliphi cut the best moments into captioned vertical clips too.

## Why Cliphi

- **Clean text, punctuation and all** Drop it straight into a doc instead of fixing run-on captions for an hour. A meeting, lecture, or interview comes back as readable text with the punctuation in place.
- **Link or file, no length cap** Paste a supported link or upload the file. A quick clip and a three-hour recording are handled the same way, both returned as one transcript.
- **Accurate, word for word** Cliphi transcribes with Whisper-grade models that handle accents, several speakers, and background noise, so you are not cleaning up garbled text.

## Turn any video into text you can use

Sometimes you just need the words out of a video. A recorded meeting, a lecture, an interview, a talk you want to quote. Retyping it or scrubbing back and forth is slow and error-prone. Cliphi converts the video to text for you. Paste a supported link or upload the file and it pulls the audio and transcribes the lot into clean text with punctuation.

## Accurate enough to actually use

The transcript handles accents, several speakers, and background noise, so it reads cleanly rather than as a garbled approximation. From there you can copy it, search it, turn it into writing, or caption it. Long videos are fine, so a full recording comes back as one transcript instead of a pile of fragments.

It detects the language for you and works across the full Whisper set. And if the video is worth posting, Cliphi can \[caption it\]\(/tools/add-captions-to-video\) and turn it into \[vertical clips\]\(/tools/auto-reframe-video\) from the same upload, so you are not bouncing between a transcriber and a clip tool.

It fits a lot of jobs. Turn a recorded meeting into minutes you can search, a lecture into study notes, an interview into a document, or a webinar into a blog post. Because the text is clean and punctuated, you can drop it straight into a doc rather than spending an hour fixing run-on captions. There is no length cap either, so a quick clip and a three-hour recording are both handled the same way.

## FAQ

### Can I upload a file instead of a link?

Yes. Upload a video file directly or paste a supported link, either one works.

### Is there a limit on how long the video can be?

No. There's no length cap, so a short recording and a three-hour one both come back as a single clean transcript rather than a pile of fragments.

### Can I make clips from the same video?

Yes. Cliphi is a clip tool at heart, so once it has transcribed your video it can also find the best moments and turn them into captioned vertical clips.
