How does the YouTube transcription service work?
Our service uses YouTube's public API to extract and process video subtitles. Simply paste the YouTube video URL, select your preferred language, and get accurate transcriptions within seconds. We support both auto-generated captions and manual subtitles.
What languages are supported for Youtube transcripts?
We support all languages available through YouTube's caption system. This includes major languages like English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and many more. The availability of languages depends on the video's original captions or auto-generated subtitles.
Is there a limit on video length for YouTube text extraction?
No, there is no limit on video length. You can transcribe videos of any duration. However, for very long videos, the processing time might be slightly longer.
How does local file transcription work?
For local files, you can upload audio or video files directly to our platform. We support formats like MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A, MOV, and more. Our AI-powered transcription engine processes your files and generates accurate text with timestamps. Files are automatically converted and processed securely.
What file formats are supported for local transcription?
We support a wide range of audio and video formats including MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A, MOV, AAC, FLAC, AVI, and more. We recommend using high-quality audio files for best transcription accuracy.
Is there a limit on local file length or size?
For YouTube videos, there's no length limit. For local files, we currently support files up to 90 minutes in length for both audio and video. For performance, we recommend files under 1 hour or 200MB. For longer files, please split them before uploading.
How accurate are the transcriptions?
Our AI-powered transcription achieves 99% accuracy for clear audio. For YouTube videos, accuracy depends on the source subtitles. For local files, accuracy varies based on audio quality, speaker clarity, background noise, and audio format. We recommend using high-quality audio files for best results.
Can I download the transcriptions?
Yes, you can download transcriptions in multiple formats including SRT, VTT, TXT, CSV, PDF, DOCX, and more. Premium users have access to additional export formats and customization options.
How soon can I expect my transcription results?
Most files are transcribed within one minute. For a 1-hour audio or video file, you can typically expect results in under 1 or 2 minutes, depending on server load and file quality. YouTube videos are processed almost instantly.
Do you store my uploaded files?
For YouTube videos, we don't store any video content - we only process subtitle data through YouTube's API. For local files, we temporarily store your original files during processing and automatically delete them after transcription is complete. We store an extracted audio file for your reference later. And you can delete this record history anytime. All data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS and at rest using AES-256 encryption. We use industry-standard security practices to protect your files and transcripts. Your data is never shared with third parties and is automatically deleted after a set retention period.
Can I use the transcriptions commercially?
For YouTube content, usage rights depend on the original video's license. For your own uploaded files, you retain full rights to the transcriptions. We recommend checking the original content's license for commercial use guidelines.
