Frequently asked questions

Simple answers to your questions

How do I transcribe a video on YouTube?
Paste the video link or upload the file, and AI returns a timestamped transcript you can read, edit and export.
Are auto-captions the same as a transcript?
Not quite. Auto-captions often miss punctuation, names and speaker changes, while a generated transcript is formatted to read as a document.
Can I transcribe a long lecture or podcast episode?
Yes. Hour-long and multi-hour recordings are supported, and timestamps keep a long transcript navigable.
Does it handle videos in other languages?
Multiple languages are supported, and the AI is trained on a wide range of accents within them.
