See how much each person talked in a call or podcast. Get talk-time percentages, longest monologues and interruptions, with a timeline per speaker.
Free for recordings up to 1 hour and 1 GB. Longer files need a paid plan.
How It Works
Drop an audio or video file — MP4, MOV, MP3, WAV, M4A and more. The language is detected automatically.
AssemblyAI transcribes every word and labels who is speaking.
Copy the text or download SRT, VTT and TXT files.
The Talk Time Analyzer is a free online tool from ShortsHero: who talked, and for how long. AssemblyAI speech recognition does the work — a 5-minute recording usually comes back in under 30 seconds. It is free for files up to 1 hour with no watermark; longer recordings need a paid plan.
Free transcription covers files up to 1 hour. If your recording is longer, a paid plan lifts the limit — or trim it into parts and run each one.
Why Use This Tool
Every word carries its start and end time, so subtitles line up with the speech.
The formats YouTube, Premiere, Resolve, CapCut and every major player accept.
Each line says who is talking, and talk time is totalled per speaker.
Full recordings, not a one-minute sample. Paid plans lift the length limit.
The spoken language is detected automatically.
Use the files anywhere — the transcript and subtitles are yours.
Yes. Files up to 1 hour long are free, with no watermark and no account needed. Recordings longer than 1 hour need a paid ShortsHero plan.
MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC and most other audio and video formats, up to 1 GB. For a long video, uploading just the audio is faster.
Yes. Download the SRT and open it in our free online SRT editor, or in any video editor, to fix a word or a timing.
Usually well under the length of the recording — a 10-minute file is typically done in about a minute.
ShortsHero turns long videos into short vertical clips with AI moment detection, face tracking and animated captions — and has free tools for subtitles, transcripts and video formats.
The same transcription powers ShortsHero's clip maker: it finds the strongest moments, reframes them to vertical and adds word-by-word captions in 36 styles.
