Transcript to Video: turn meetings and interviews into a branded video
Paste a meeting transcript, customer interview, or webinar recording. ngram cuts the cross-talk and filler, then rebuilds the conversation into a storyboarded branded video you edit in plain language.

How it works
Four steps from a raw transcript to a video people will watch.
No re-recording the conversation, no scrubbing a two-hour timeline for the good 90 seconds. The words people actually said become the script, and the script becomes a storyboard you can argue with before anything renders.
Paste the transcript or drop a URL
A meeting recap, interview transcript, webinar log, sales-call summary, or panel record. Speaker labels and timestamps parse cleanly. If the transcript lives on a URL, paste the link and ngram fetches the text with Firecrawl.
The agent finds the story in the talk
ngram reads across speakers, drops filler and tangents, and rewrites the spoken record into a hook-body-CTA video script. The decision, the customer quote, the one stat that matters: those survive; the cross-talk does not.
Review the storyboard before render
Every scene shows the line lifted from the transcript, the visual direction, and the duration. Pull a tangent, keep a verbatim quote, swap a visual, or ask for a 60-second cut in plain language, and the script re-flows.
Export in three ratios
One render produces 16:9 for the wiki and embeds, 1:1 for the feed, and 9:16 for vertical recaps. Captions burned in, Brand Kit applied, so the meeting nobody rewatched becomes a clip people finish.
Output controls
Smart defaults from the transcript. Real knobs when you need them.
Filler and cross-talk removed
Transcripts are messy: ums, restarts, two people talking over each other, a five-minute tangent about lunch. ngram cuts that on the first pass so the script carries the substance, not the stenography.
Script-first review
Read the full script before any visual is generated. Keep a verbatim customer quote, cut a side conversation, or rewrite the CTA in plain English. Every edit re-flows the scene plan downstream.
Speaker labels understood
Sarah:, Interviewer:, [00:14:32] Speaker 2 all parse. ngram tracks who said what so a two-person interview can keep the back-and-forth, or collapse into a single clean narration when that reads better.
AI Visuals per scene
Each scene gets a brand-matched image or short generative clip tied to what that part of the conversation was about. No keyword-matched stock footage dragging a serious recap into generic territory.
Brand Kit on every frame
Logo, fonts, colors, motion style, intro and outro pulled from your saved Brand Kit. The recap of this week's call looks as on-brand as last quarter's town hall.
Voiceover from any saved voice
Narrate the rewritten script in a default ngram voice, your cloned founder voice, or a multilingual ElevenLabs voice. You are not stuck with the muffled room audio the transcript came from.
Captions in your brand font
Auto-generated captions burned into every export, styled with the Brand Kit's caption preset. Edit a line in the script and that scene re-renders with the matching caption.
Data handling for your team
Your pasted transcripts, fetched URLs, and renders live in your workspace, and you can delete your account and trigger a full data purge from Settings. Talk to sales about security, access controls, and data handling for your team.
The rest of ngram
What ngram does to a transcript that a subtitle-burner can't.
Script Generation
Reads the whole transcript across speakers and rewrites it as a tight hook-body-CTA video script. Not a word-for-word echo of the meeting, but the argument people made, paced for video.
Learn moreAI Visuals
Each scene of the transcript-to-video gets a brand-matched image or short clip tied to what was being discussed. The visuals follow the conversation, not a keyword-to-stock-clip table.
Learn moreAI Voiceover
Re-narrate the rewritten script in an ElevenLabs voice, your cloned voice, or another language. The room audio behind the transcript stays buried; the video gets a clean read of the lines you approved.
Learn moreCaptions
Burned-in captions styled to your Brand Kit, generated from the rewritten script. Viewers on mute still read the decision or the quote the transcript captured.
Learn moreBrand Kit
Logo, fonts, colors, motion style, intro and outro applied to every scene built from the transcript. The same kit drives every future transcript-to-video, so internal recaps and customer clips match.
Learn moreMulti-format Export
One transcript in, three ratios out. 16:9 for the wiki and embeds, 1:1 for the feed, 9:16 for vertical recaps, with captions reframed for each surface in a single render.

Eight conversations worth turning into a video.
Turn a recorded meeting into a 3-minute recap
Paste the transcript, let ngram drop the small talk and call out the decisions, and send a captioned recap to the people who missed the call instead of a 50-minute recording nobody opens.

Transcript is one input. Pick the converter that matches yours.
Transcript to video rides ngram's script + storyboard pipeline. Every spoken-word and text-source converter on this list shares the same scene planner, Brand Kit, review step, and three-ratio export.
When the transcript is already a timed .srt caption file. ngram reads each cue in order and plans a scene per line, instead of treating the file as a loose block of text.
Open converterWhen you have the recording but no transcript yet. ngram transcribes the audio first, then runs the same scene-and-storyboard flow you use here on the resulting text.
Open converterWhen your source is written copy rather than a spoken-word record, a script, a draft, or any chunk of writing. Same scene planner, tuned for prose instead of a back-and-forth transcript.

How it compares
If you've been using something else for transcript to video.
Synthesia points a transcript at an avatar and reads it line by line; the brand controls are template-level. Pictory and Lumen5 match each sentence to a stock-clip library. ngram reads across speakers, cuts the filler, plans a storyboard you can argue with before render, and applies the Brand Kit per scene, so the output reads like the conversation, not like a template.
