About WebM files

WebM is an open web format using VP8, VP9 or AV1 video with Opus or Vorbis audio. Browser-based screen recorders and many web tools save WebM.

Common sources: browser screen recorders, Loom-style recording tools, web-conferencing exports, downloads of your own web videos.

Chrome, Edge and Firefox read WebM natively; recent Safari versions support it too.

WebM to text

WebM recordings made in a browser often have no seek index; if the duration looks wrong, re-save the file and try again.

14-minute WebM

A support engineer transcribes a 14-minute WebM screen recording of a bug walkthrough to paste the steps into a ticket.

Cost: 14 credits (1.4¢).

Translating a WebM

For software demos, technical terms often stay in English in the translation — review the transcript for UI labels.

7-minute WebM

A product team translates a 7-minute WebM feature walkthrough into German for a customer in Hamburg.

Cost: 350 credits (35¢) with a translated voice, or 7 credits (0.7¢) for translated text only. Switch Full translation output on in the tool above for a voice track.

Using the tool on this page

  • The spoken language is detected automatically; you select the output language — the spoken language itself for an untranslated transcript, or another language for a translation. Files can be up to 2 hours long.
  • Only the audio is sent for processing — the video stays on your device — and audio and text are deleted within 30 minutes of delivery (how files are protected).
  • You can download a timestamped transcript, subtitles (SRT and VTT) and plain text. Every output, step and limit is explained on the video to text page.

Frequently asked questions

Can I transcribe an audio-only WebM?

Yes — use the audio workspace for WebM files with no picture. Video WebMs go in the video workspace.

What format is the translated WebM saved in?

The translated video is saved as MP4 for the widest compatibility.
