Key point
Recognize speech in a local audio file or MP4, then preview and edit the created script.
Steps
- Open Tools > Media to Script and choose one audio or video file from the system picker. Audio support depends on device decoders; video must currently be MP4.
- Wait for inspection and confirm the file and audio-track information, then tap Start Transcription.
- Follow any preparation prompts and keep the page open through model loading, decoding, recognition, formatting and saving. The shared workspace runs one task at a time.
- To stop, choose Cancel and confirm. The source file is not changed or deleted.
- When complete, review the result or its full-screen preview. Tap Edit Script to open the created local script and correct it before prompting.
Options, limits and troubleshooting
- This reads speech, not burned-in subtitles or silent video frames. Clear speech and quieter background music improve usable results; overlapping speakers, dialects and specialist words need manual review.
- Video audio is read directly; extracting an intermediate audio file first is unnecessary. Recognition does not upload your source, while saved scripts follow private-sync settings.
- No audio track: choose a file with sound. Unsupported decoding: use a device-compatible file; changing its extension does not convert it. Empty text: try a short, clear spoken clip.
- If saving fails, follow script-limit or storage guidance and retry. Reaching the end of recognition does not by itself confirm a saved script.
