Video Ocr: Online Video Text Extractor

Some videos use kinetic typography, text animations, or hardcoded (burned-in) text or subtitles. With our online video OCR, you can extract this text from videos and save it as a simple TXT file or a proper SRT, VTT, CSV or JSON file. Our video text extractor uses sophisticated artificial intelligence to scan video frames in seconds and select only the relevant frames containing text for extraction.

What VideoOCR does

Extract Text Hardcoded Into Video

Our online web tool makes it easy for you to copy text that has been burned into a video or appears in its frames. Because videos contain hundreds or, in longer videos, thousands of frames, we use advanced detection algorithms to process only the video frames/images that are needed. Whether it's a lyrics video, a text animation video, or any other video containing text, we carefully retrieve it for you.

Exclude Video Areas When Extracting Text

Our online video OCR gives you the ability to exclude areas of a video whose contents you don't want to be extracted. Examples include header or footer text that appears in every frame of the video and pollutes the extracted text.

Create Subtitle Files From Burned-in Video Text

Some videos come with subtitles that are burned into the video itself. With this tool, you can extract these subtitles and save them in a proper SRT file.
