I have never heard of any such software. How can a video be changed into text? Even if it is possible I cannot help you in any way in this regard. Very sorry.

I have however heard of softwares which can detect text in a picture and can convert them to actual text. I do not know the name of such software and also do not have any idea if there is one which is available for free. But I do know that they exist.

Hi,
I found this for you

"Who knew technology existed to translate an audio file into text for search purposes? I certainly did not know, but the folks at EveryZing (formerly PodZing) know everything about it. EveryZing creates a text index of the audio data from audio and video files using the latest speech-to-text technology to enable search within the spoken words of media. You can even click on the words to begin playing the media from the exact point that word is spoken (however, EveryZing admits to only having an 80-85% accuracy rating). By searching the spoken words, those sites are indexed with more words and therefore more searchable and accessible....which in turn means they have a greater ability to generate revenue. To those multimedia companies that rely on viewership on their audio/video files, this is a great monetization tool. They also just received $10 million in new funding to expand and improve their services.

Hope that helps

That is a very interesting concept, Oldchem1. Unfortunately, it seems that Ramp (the company that provides EveryZing) is only interested at the moment in providing solutions to large corporations (such as NBC). There is no pricing on their site and I can imagine that the services they provide are way beyond the capabilities of individuals who want to transcribe the occasional video.

Incidentally, 80-85% accuracy is really not very satisfactory where voice transcription is concerned. You only have to see some broadcasts, such as News broadcasts, which attempt to use live subtitling to appreciate that there can be some very bizarre transcriptions at times!

One of the foremost products, Dragon Naturally Speaking claims around 95% accuracy and, having tried it (and verified the claims), I can say that it's only achievable with careful training - both of the software and of one's own speaking patterns. The way most people speak defies even the best transcription program.

I presume that you want to transcribe the audio track - in other words, you are looking for a Voice-to-Text solution. The only commercially available software which would even potentially be capable of this, as far as I know, is Dragon Naturally Speaking. The Pro version of this claims to be able to accept and transcribe audio files of dictated text.

I haven't used this particular version but I do know that the version I have used (which only accepts speech direct from a microphone) requires considerable training to recognise a particular speaker's voice and also some discipline on the part of the speaker to speak distinctly and consistently enough for it to even approach any real semblance of usefulness.

If you just have one video (or a few) to transcribe, you might consider this a suitable task or tasks to offer on one of the sites such as Amazon Turk, Microworkers or MyLot. You could either break the video/audio into several sections and offer each section as a task or you could ask for the whole video to be transcribed as a single task. I have no idea what a suitable fee for this might be (and the actual time taken to transcribe, say, 5 minutes of audio would depend on the quality of the audio and how good an ear and typing speed the worker possessed) but you might think in terms of $1 per 5 minutes of video, perhaps.

hi siligurl

i think you can just change its extension file into .txt from .mp4 or .mpeg4 format..
and open it via notepad, surely it will be transformed into text file, but if you are talking about the voice in the video into text you can use voice detection software which can translate sound in the video into text..

good luckhappy

There is any software which can convert video into text..?
I asked my husband about this and he shrugged his shoulders so he doesnt know and neither do I.
Why not go into a decent computer store and ask or try and look for a solution online.
Thats about the only two things that I can think of which might be of any help really.
