Frequently asked questions
What is a video transcript generator?
A video transcript generator, or video transcriber, turns the speech in a video into written text. With Manus, you upload a video or paste a link, and you get a transcript with speaker labels and timestamps that you can edit and reuse.
How do I transcribe a video to text?
Upload the video or paste its link in Manus, then ask for a transcript. Say what you need in the same message, such as speaker labels, timestamps, or a summary. The transcript appears in the chat.
How do I transcribe a YouTube video?
Paste the YouTube link and ask for a transcript. You do not need to download the video first. Once the transcript is ready, you can ask Manus to summarize the video or pull out its key points.
Does the transcript show who is speaking and when?
Yes. Manus tells speakers apart and adds timestamps that mark when each line was said. If you know the speakers’ names, include them in your request so the labels use them.
How long can the video be?
Manus can process videos up to several hours long. Longer videos take more time to transcribe.
Can I transcribe audio files too?
Yes. MP3, WAV, M4A, WEBM, and most common audio formats work. The multimedia processing guide explains what Manus can do with video, audio, and images.
How accurate are the transcripts?
Accuracy depends on the audio. Manus handles accents, several speakers, and some background noise, and clear recordings give the best results. Before you publish, check names and specialist terms, and ask Manus to fix anything it got wrong.
Can I transcribe a meeting while it happens?
For in-person meetings, use Meeting Minutes in Manus. It records the meeting, shows the transcript as people speak, and then writes a summary with key points and action items.
Is the video transcript generator free?
Transcribing a video runs as a Manus task and uses credits from your plan. Check your plan to see how many credits you have.
