LipRead AI

LipRead AI is a web-based tool that turns silent videos into text transcripts by analyzing lip movements. You upload a video file — MP4, MOV, AVI, WEBM, or MKV — and the AI detects faces, tracks lip motion frame by frame, and extracts the spoken words. The result is a transcript you can edit, correct, or annotate right in the browser, then export as SRT, VTT, TXT, or JSON. No microphone or original audio is required.

The process is straightforward: drag and drop a video (up to 2GB), let the AI do its analysis, and review the transcript in a workspace where each line is timestamped. You can click any line to fix mistakes, and changes save automatically. The tool claims 99% accuracy, supports over 50 languages, and can handle videos up to two hours long. It also offers text-to-speech support and multi-language translation on paid plans.

LipRead AI is most useful for journalists, video editors, accessibility specialists, and anyone who needs to extract speech from footage where audio is missing, corrupted, or unavailable. It's also handy for creating subtitles for silent archival footage or for people who want to repurpose video content without relying on audio quality. The free tier gives you 10 seconds of processing to test it out, while paid plans start at $15.99 per month for 600 seconds.
