Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the transcript?

It is usually good for clear speech and gets worse with background noise, music, strong accents or several people talking at once. Always read through the result before you publish it.

Which languages are supported?

You can choose English or Tagalog, or leave it on auto-detect. Auto-detect may also recognise other languages, with varying accuracy.

Is my video uploaded?

No. The audio is read and transcribed inside your browser. Only the speech model itself is downloaded from a public content network the first time you use it.

Why does the first transcript take longer?

Your browser has to download the speech model once. It is saved on your device afterwards, so later runs start much faster. Long videos still take a few minutes because the work happens on your own computer.

Can I use the transcript as subtitles?

Yes. Press Save .srt to download a subtitle file with timestamps, or Save .txt for plain text.

How long can the video be?

Videos up to about 20 minutes work best. Very long or very large files can use a lot of memory in the browser. If that happens, split the video into shorter parts.
