# Transcribe MP4 Video to Text with Speaker Labels

**Use case:** 

Paste a link to an MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM file and get a transcript where every line says who is speaking — SPEAKER_00, SPEAKER_01 and so on. Only the audio track is transcribed, so a video costs the same per minute as its audio.

## Input

```json
{
  "fileUrls": [
    "https://images-assets.nasa.gov/video/iss061m2627771232_Live_Interviews_Jeanette_Epps_191004/iss061m2627771232_Live_Interviews_Jeanette_Epps_191004~mobile.mp4"
  ],
  "maxEpisodesPerFeed": 3,
  "timestampLevel": "segment",
  "diarize": true,
  "language": "en",
  "includeSubtitles": true,
  "maxConcurrency": 2
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "url": {
    "label": "File URL",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "status": {
    "label": "Status",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "timestampLevel": {
    "label": "Timestamp level",
    "format": "string"

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/deapi/audio-video-to-text.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
