How do I convert an AVI to text?

To convert an AVI to text, upload the AVI video to Pepys and it extracts the audio and transcribes it into a clean, timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript in minutes, in 99+ languages, with an AI summary built in. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.

How avi to text works

01

Upload your AVI

Drop in the AVI file – we extract the audio track and prepare it automatically.

02

Get your transcript

AI transcribes the speech into clean, speaker-labeled text with timestamps in minutes.

03

Edit and export

Fix anything inline, then export to TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON.

AVI is an older container that plenty of screen recordings, camcorder clips, and archived videos still live in – and the speech locked inside them is hard to reuse. Pepys pulls it out: upload the AVI and it transcribes the audio track into accurate, speaker-labeled text you can search, quote, and caption.

There's nothing to install and no codec hassle – we handle the AVI for you, auto-detect the language across 99+ of them, and chunk long files so a feature-length clip comes back as one clean transcript. Your first 60 minutes are free, credits never expire, and we never train on your audio.

Clean paragraphs. No more um's and ah's.

The left is what Pepys hands back – logical paragraphs with the filler stripped out, punctuated and readable. The right is the raw, one-line-per-segment dump most transcribers leave you with.

um so yeah everyone keeps telling you to like lead with your best line right but uh honestly if you give away the whole answer in the first second you know there's basically no reason for anyone to keep watching so the hook isn't kind of the smartest thing you say it's like a loop you open that they need to close and um that's the part that actually keeps people around

Avi to text – questions, answered

How do I convert an AVI to text?

Upload your AVI on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys extracts the audio and transcribes it into clean, timestamped text in minutes, ready to edit and export.

Do I have to extract the audio first?

No. Upload the AVI as-is and Pepys pulls the audio track for you before transcribing – no conversion, no codecs, no extra steps.

Can I get subtitles for my AVI?

Yes – export the transcript as an SRT or VTT subtitle file with correct timestamps, ready to load alongside the video in a player or editor.

What about long AVI files in another language?

Long files are chunked and stitched automatically, and language is auto-detected across 99+ languages with translation available afterward. We never train AI on your audio.
