Files and public links need different checks

Upload a supported MP4, MOV or WebM, or switch to a supported public link. Transcription follows audible speech; it does not read slide text or describe silent scenes. Check your plan’s size and duration limits before uploading.

If the source is unavailable

Open a public link without signing in to its platform to check access. For files, confirm audio playback locally. Restricted sources cannot be made accessible by repeated retries.

TXT and Markdown work well for reading and editing; SRT keeps subtitle timing. VTT, STL, XML, FCPXML and EDL require Creator Plus or Studio. Check timings in your editor before publishing.

AI transcription costs 3 credits per rounded-up minute; a summary costs 20; translation costs 5 per rounded-up minute for each target language. These are separate tasks sharing one balance. New accounts receive 50 Starter Credits once, not a monthly allowance.

How to transcribe a video

Add a video

02

Review and confirm transcription

Check the duration and estimated credits before confirming. Follow the current job status instead of starting duplicate jobs.
