MKV video-to-text converter

MKV format, also known as Matroska video, is a container for video, audio, and subtitle tracks. If captions are added as a separate SRT file, you can easily separate them and reuse them in other projects. But if you deal with open subtitles, embedded into the MKV video, you’ll need to transcribe MKV manually.

However, there is a better solution. Now you can use voice recognition technologies for converting a video to text. Clideo’s video-to-text converter can turn MKV into text in several clicks. The tool works in a browser and simplifies the process of transcribing videos into text.

The service is user-friendly and convenient even for inexperienced users. It features very limited functionality to avoid any complexity. Using our tool, you can create a TXT or SRT file with the text from your video, and also add SRT to MKV.
