Online Course Transcription
Upload an online course lesson or paste a link — AI turns video lessons into text with timestamps, to study from notes or make text materials and subtitles.
Online course transcription — lesson text for study and materials
Transcribing an online course to text is useful from two sides: for a student — to study from text, search for what's needed, and prepare for assignments without rewatching video lessons; for a course author — to quickly create text materials, module notes, and lesson subtitles. DictAI turns course lessons into text automatically — upload a video or audio file of the lesson or paste a link, and the AI recognizes the speech.
A course is usually a series of lessons, and timestamps matter here: each fragment of text is tied to a moment in the lesson, so the right spot in an hour-long video is found in seconds. If a lesson has several voices — the instructor and a guest expert — the AI labels lines by speaker. Recognition works in 35+ languages, including courses in English, and handles mixed Russian-English speech and terms.
The source can be video or audio: upload the lesson file (MP4, MP3, M4A) or paste a link from YouTube, Rutube, VK, and 1,000+ platforms. The finished text is edited right in the browser and exported to TXT, DOCX, or PDF for notes and handouts, and to SRT and VTT with timestamps for lesson subtitles. For long lessons an AI summary is available — a short digest of the key points (a paid-plan feature).
Transcribing an online course saves hours: a student studies from text and reviews material quickly, while an author gets the basis for a text version of the lesson in minutes instead of typing it by hand. You can start for free — 30 minutes of transcription with no card required. Accuracy depends on the lesson recording quality: with clear sound recognition is more accurate, and complex terms are sometimes worth fixing in the editor.
