Transcribe FLV to text
FLV is a Flash-era video format left behind in old webinar portals, embedded training sites, and early web-video collections. The player may be obsolete, but the spoken material can still hold institutional value.
BriefMeet transcribes the audio track from an FLV upload to make old archives searchable, preserving access to the discussion without claiming to restore the Flash video experience.

FLV transcription FAQ
These answers are specific to working with .flv files in BriefMeet.
Do I need Adobe Flash to transcribe an FLV file?
No. BriefMeet processes the uploaded media file directly, so a browser Flash player is not part of the transcription workflow.
Will BriefMeet convert an FLV archive into modern video?
No. The service transcribes the spoken audio and provides text, document, JSON, SRT, and VTT exports; it does not create a replacement video.
Why transcribe an old FLV webinar?
Searchable text can surface names, product history, lessons, and decisions that are difficult to find inside an unindexed Flash-era recording.
