Snapchat video to text
Snapchat video to text: upload the Snap of the chat and get the text with a timecode on every line, in TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT or CSV. Free $0, 3 files a day.
The sound of the Snap of the chat is enough: the engine reads the file as it was made. The text of the Snap of the chat comes back one segment per line. The free plan is $0 with 3 files a day, and one file may be 30 minutes.
How to get Snapchat video to text
- 1
Save the Snap
The Snap is saved in the chat, and the saved copy goes to the servers of Snapchat.
- 2
Keep the file on your own disk
The file of the Snap of the chat stays where it was downloaded, and the text that comes back is a separate document.
- 3
Check the names against the agenda
Two voices in the Snap of the chat are told apart when the split is on. Name them in the editor and the export keeps the names.
- 4
Split a long recording into parts
A file over 30 minutes on the free plan has to be cut. The parts keep their own timecodes, so the order of the text stays the order of the talk; the Pro plan takes a recording of any length.
What comes back from the engine
- TXT
One segment per line, the way a person wrote it down. It is the format to paste into a ticket, a chat or a document.
- TXT, CSV
The start and the end time of every segment, and the speakers named separately when you ask for it.
- SRT, VTT
SRT and VTT with the time of every line, so the recording can carry its own subtitles.
- Markdown, DOCX
The transcript is edited through the API and exported as Markdown for a wiki, or as DOCX for a review.
What Snapchat keeps, and what it gives
- Where the file is
Saving a Snap in Chat saves it to the servers of Snapchat, and not on your device.
- Where the file is kept
You can still export the saved Snap to Camera Roll to keep it on the device, and you can still take a screenshot.
- Length of one file
up to 30 minutes on the free plan, no minute limit on Pro
- Free plan
$0: 3 files a day, up to 30 minutes per file, no card
What the recording does not give you
Once the Snap of the chat is on the disk, the rest is the engine and a minute of waiting. Nobody sits through 30 minutes to find one sentence, and that is exactly what a search in the text is for. The engine reads the Snap of the chat and gives the text back with the timecodes in place, so the minutes are written from the recording.
Tips
Name the file of the Snap of the chat after the meeting, not after the day.
Snapchat gives the file, but the name of the file is yours to choose.
Check the length of the Snap of the chat before the upload: 30 minutes is the limit of one file.
Over 30 minutes on the free plan a file has to be cut before sending; Pro has no minute limit.
Set the language of the Snap of the chat yourself when you know it, or leave it on automatic detection.
