Transcribe MP4 to text

MP4 transcription FAQ
These answers are specific to working with .mp4 files in BriefMeet.
Does BriefMeet need the video track to transcribe an MP4?
No. The transcript comes from the audio inside the MP4. The video can stay in the file while BriefMeet prepares the audio for transcription.
Can I make subtitles from an MP4 upload?
Yes. MP4 recordings can be exported as SRT or VTT after transcription, which is useful for captions, editing, and publishing workflows.
What kinds of MP4 recordings work best?
MP4 files with clear spoken audio, limited overlapping speech, and stable volume usually produce stronger transcripts and more useful meeting notes.
