Copy what was on screen exactly as shown: chat messages with sender and time, error codes, file paths, labels and readouts. Each line comes with the moment it appeared, and anything unreadable is flagged rather than guessed.
Text is copied as shown, in order, and tied to the frame it came from, so the result holds up when someone checks it.
Turn a phone or chat screen recording into a message log: sender, exact wording, on-screen time and video time. Genuine repeats are kept.
Error codes, commands, file paths, gauge values and labels are copied character for character.
Blurred or cut-off text is marked [unreadable] so nobody mistakes a guess for evidence.

Common questions
Q: Can I copy text from a video?
A: Yes. Ask for the text you need, or all of it. Docsie copies it as shown, with the timestamp and frame for each line.
Q: How do I turn a screen recording into text?
A: Upload the recording and ask for the on-screen text. Scrolling and overlapping screens are handled, so each line appears once, in order.
Q: Can it transcribe text messages from a phone screen recording?
A: Yes. You get a verbatim message log with sender, wording, on-screen time and video time, and repeats kept. Whether a log meets a court's requirements is a question for your counsel.
Q: Is this video OCR?
A: It reads on-screen text like OCR, and it also understands context: who sent a message, which dialog an error came from, and when it appeared.
Q: What happens when text is blurry or cut off?
A: It is marked [unreadable] rather than guessed. Higher-resolution recordings give more complete results.
Q: How long can a video be?
A: Up to 40 minutes per video. Longer recordings are split, and the findings are merged onto one timeline.
Q: Where does my footage go?
A: Use Docsie's cloud, or deploy Docsie on your own infrastructure so footage stays inside your network.
