How to ai transcript generator
- 1
Upload your video or audio file
Drag your file directly into CentClip - no account or credit card needed to start. CentClip accepts MP4, MOV, MKV, MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, and other common video and audio formats. Your first 5 minutes are free, so you can test on a real file from your actual project before spending anything.
- 2
Choose your language and start transcription
Select the spoken language from 50+ supported options - CentClip transcribes, not translates, so choose the language actually spoken in the file. The AI engine processes the audio and produces a timestamped transcript automatically. Most files complete in a fraction of their actual runtime with no manual editing required.

Download your transcript in the format you need
Once processing is complete, download your output as a plain text transcript, a timestamped SRT file, or a VTT caption file - all generated from the same pass. If you uploaded a video file, a burned-in MP4 with captions is also available. Credits are only deducted for the duration actually processed.
Why choose CentClip?
AI transcription that you can test on your own recordings before committing
Accuracy benchmarks measured on generic datasets rarely match real-world performance on your speakers, your terminology, and your recording conditions. CentClip gives you 5 full minutes of free AI transcription with no sign-up required, so you can run a file from your actual project and evaluate the output yourself. If the transcript meets your standard, buying credits takes seconds - there is no onboarding flow, no trial countdown timer, and no sales process between you and your result.
Pay per minute instead of paying every month whether you transcribe or not
Most AI transcription tools are subscription products - you pay $15 to $30 per month to keep access, even in months where you only have one file to process. CentClip charges a flat 5 cents per minute of audio or video processed, so a 30-minute interview costs $1.50 and a slow month costs nothing. Credits never expire, which means buying a batch before a heavy project is always safe - unused minutes carry forward indefinitely with no cut-off date.
Three output formats from a single transcription pass
A plain text dump is useful for reading and searching, but many workflows need more structure. CentClip produces a plain text transcript, a timestamped SRT file, and a VTT caption file all from the same job - no reprocessing needed. Video files also produce a burned-in MP4. That means a researcher can archive the plain text, a video editor can drop the SRT into their timeline, and an accessibility reviewer can use the VTT for web captions, all from one upload.
FAQ
How accurate is CentClip's AI transcript generator?
Accuracy is highest on clear recordings with a single speaker and minimal background noise. CentClip's AI engine handles 50+ languages and domain-specific vocabulary well - the free 5-minute trial lets you test it on your own file before purchasing credits.
Is there a free trial, and what does it cost after?
Your first 5 minutes of transcription are free with no account required. After that, CentClip charges 5 cents per minute of audio or video processed - there is no subscription, and unused credits never expire.
What file formats does the AI transcript generator support?
CentClip accepts video formats including MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, and AVI, plus audio formats like MP3, WAV, M4A, and AAC. No format conversion is needed before uploading.
Do purchased credits expire if I don't use them right away?
Credits never expire. Buy them when you have a batch of files to process, use what you need, and the remainder stays in your account with no renewal date or forfeiture deadline.
