Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a AVI file to text?
Create a free Jackob.ai account, upload the AVI file, and the AI transcribes it automatically. You can then review the transcript alongside the video and export it as DOCX, PDF, TXT, SRT, or VTT.
My AVI file is from an old camera — will it still work?
Almost certainly: AVI files with common audio codecs (MP3, PCM) process normally regardless of age. If a very unusual codec fails, remuxing with a free tool like HandBrake fixes it — but try the direct upload first on the free plan; most legacy files just work.
Can I get the AVI transcript as a Word document, PDF, or JSON?
Yes. Every transcription exports as DOCX (opens in Microsoft Word and Google Docs), PDF for polished sharing, plain TXT, and structured JSON with timestamps and speaker labels for developers — plus SRT and VTT subtitles. All formats come from the same upload, so you never re-transcribe.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. The free plan lets you transcribe a real AVI recording each month with no credit card, so you can judge the accuracy on your own audio before paying.
Are my files kept private?
Yes. Files are processed securely, are never used to train AI models, and can be deleted from your account at any time.
