Transcribe your content using AI in 3 simple steps

Do you have a phone full of screenshots, voice notes you’ll “get to later,” and meeting recordings you’ve been meaning to listen to since last month? Then this one's for you!

Capturing information is easy. But when your ideas are locked in recordings or images, you lose time trying to find or make sense of them later. That’s why AI video transcription tools, image to text converters, and audio transcription software are essential for turning scattered content into a personal knowledge bank.

AI Transcribe is an all-in-one tool that unlocks your content, whether it’s audio, video, or images, turning digital clutter into organized, usable notes that fit right into your workflow. Our powerful AI transcription software supports a wide range of formats, allowing you to convert video to text, extract text from images, and transcribe audio in just three easy steps.


Step 1: Upload your content

AI Transcribe is designed to support a wide variety of formats and sources, making it a flexible online transcription tool for many needs.

It supports:

  • Video files. Transcribe MP4s with ease.
  • Audio files. Quickly convert audio to text from an MP3 file.
  • Screenshots and images. Seamlessly extract text from images.
  • Handwritten notes. Turn handwriting to text in no time with fast, reliable text recognition.
  • Document uploads like PDFs. Easily digitize records or printed materials, making them searchable and editable.
  • Direct video links. You can even transcribe from a URL to get text for an online video clip or file from the cloud.
  • Live recordings. Capture conversations in real time and turn them into searchable text.

Step 2: Transcribe

Once your file is uploaded, AI Transcribe takes it from there. 

In the standalone web tool, it’s as easy as uploading your content and hitting ‘Transcribe’.

Instead, if you're working in the Evernote app, you'll see a ‘Transcribe’ button appear next to your content—just tap it to begin. Within moments, your audio, image, or video will be converted into text, ready for you to review. 

Transcribe AI works to convert audio to text, transcribing both uploaded files or live recordings into editable text.

Step 3: Save

Whether you're working within Evernote or using the web tool, saving your transcription is quick and effortless. 

The standalone tool gives you flexible options—you can insert the transcription directly into Evernote, copy it to use in another document, or download it as a .txt file for safekeeping.

From the web tool, you can save your transcription to Evernote, copy it to paste somewhere else, or download it as a .txt file.

On the other hand, if you choose to transcribe your content directly in Evernote, you can edit the transcription like any other text: Leave comments, copy and paste sections, or move it to another note or Space.

Use Evernote to transcribe images, audio, or video to text, then add it directly to your notes in Evernote.

From archiving old documents and digitizing printed pages to transforming handwritten diaries into searchable content, AI Transcribe helps you preserve and repurpose your important information. Whether you need to convert images to text, transcribe audio, perform automatic video transcription, or transcribe a video link, it transforms content from a variety of formats into editable text. The result? Your cluttered media becomes clean, structured notes—so your best ideas never get buried in the mess.
