Transcribe Filipino Video and Audio, Get the Text
Upload a Filipino (Tagalog) video or audio file, or paste a link, and ScreenApp turns the spoken Filipino into a transcript with speaker labels and timestamps. There is no download step for a URL: paste the link and the tool fetches and transcribes it directly.
You get a transcript you can search, edit in the browser, and export, instead of replaying the recording to find a quote.
What you get:
- A transcript with speaker labels and timestamps, in 100+ languages
- Export as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT
- Translate the transcript or captions: transcript and caption translation
- Ask AI questions about the recording and get answers that point to the moment it happened
- Free plan: 2 transcriptions of recordings up to 45 minutes each, with AI chat on both
How to Transcribe Filipino Video to Text
- Upload or paste a link: Drag in your Filipino video or audio file (MP4, M4V, MOV, AVI, WEBM, MKV, FLV, TS, MTS, M2TS, 3GP, 3GPP, 3G2, WMV, ASF, VOB, OGV, RM, RMVB, MPG, MPEG, M2V, F4V, MXF, or MP3, M4A, MP4A, M4B, AAC, WAV, OGG, OPUS, FLAC, AIFF, WMA, WEBMA, MKA, AC3, EAC3, WV, AMR, DSF, DFF) or paste a link from YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and most other public video links (Twitch, Loom, Dropbox, Google Drive, Pinterest, X, Threads, Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili) through a generic importer.
- Let it transcribe: The Filipino audio is converted to text, speakers are separated, and every sentence gets a timestamp.
- Search, edit, export: Read the transcript in the browser, edit it, and export as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT.
Accuracy depends on the audio. Clean, single-speaker Filipino audio with no background noise transcribes best; a distant microphone or overlapping speakers will have more gaps. See how we measure accuracy by language.
