MP4 Transcription with AI
MP4 is the most common video container — the default export of phones, cameras, screen recorders, and editing software. Jackob.ai transcribes MP4 files directly — upload the recording and get an accurate, timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript in minutes.
It works for recorded meetings, webinars, YouTube videos, and screen recordings, in 98 languages. One upload gives you a document (DOCX, PDF, TXT), subtitles (SRT, VTT), and an AI summary.

Why Jackob.ai
Audio track extracted automatically
Only the audio track matters for transcription — resolution, frame rate, and video codec are irrelevant, so a 4K webinar and a screen recording transcribe identically.
AI summaries
Generate a downloadable summary of the recording alongside the transcript.
98 languages
Recordings in nearly any language are transcribed accurately — not just English.
Private by design
Your files are never used to train AI models, and you can delete them at any time.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is MP4 transcription?
Accuracy depends mainly on recording quality, background noise, and the number of speakers. Clear speech transcribes very well. Test with your own recording on the free plan — no credit card is required.
Do I need to extract the audio from my MP4 before uploading?
No — upload the video file as is and the audio track is processed automatically. Video resolution makes no difference to accuracy or speed; only the audio quality and file size limit (5 GB, up to 4 hours of video) matter.
Can I get the MP4 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 MP4 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.
