Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our transcription service
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.
Is this service free to use?
We offer both free and premium plans. The free plan allows you to transcribe a limited number of videos per month. Premium plans provide additional features like batch processing, priority access, and advanced formatting options.
How accurate are the transcriptions?
The accuracy depends on the source of the subtitles. Manual subtitles provided by video creators are typically highly accurate. For auto-generated captions, accuracy can vary based on factors like audio quality, speaker clarity, and background noise.
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.
Do you store the video content?
No, we do not store, host, or distribute any video content. We only process the subtitle data through YouTube's public API. All video content remains on YouTube's servers.
Can I use the transcriptions commercially for Youtube content?
The usage rights of transcriptions depend on the original video's license and your intended use. We recommend checking YouTube's terms of service and the video's license for commercial use guidelines.
What if a video doesn't have subtitles?
If a video has auto-generated captions enabled by the creator, we can extract those. If no captions are available at all, we unfortunately cannot provide transcription for that video.
How do I report technical issues?
For technical support, you can contact our support team through the help center or email support@transcriptly.org. Premium users get priority support with faster response times.
