In short
Upload the video or the audio and the words come back as text with the time of every line, so a subtitle and a cut point carry the same number. One file is up to 30 minutes; Pro is $10 a month paid yearly with no minute limit a month.
The case
Why the words of a video are worth a file of their own
The edit of a video is decided in time: the cut at 04:12, the subtitle that has to match the sentence, the clip that starts on the laugh. None of that is written anywhere but in the timeline, and the timeline of a creator is a file that plays forward only. A transcript with timecodes is the script of that timeline.

How to transcribe a recording for a video
- 1
Take the file you are editing
The widget takes audio and video: mp3, wav, m4a, mp4, webm, ogg, flac, aac, wma and mov. The file does not have to be converted, and it may be up to 30 minutes.
- 2
Upload it and split the voices
The file goes through the widget above: up to 30 minutes. Leave the language on automatic detection or set it, and switch on the split by speaker when the video has more than one voice.
- 3
Read the words of the cut
Every line says when it starts and ends, so the moment of the strongest line is a number, not a memory. Export CSV when the cuts have to be listed for the team.
- 4
Cut the subtitle file from the same times
SRT and VTT are two of the six export formats, with the same start and end times as the transcript, so the subtitle file and the cut list speak the same language of time.
Tips
Name the file after the video, not after the export.
Keep the raw file; every export is made from it.
Check the first minute of the transcript against the video.
Export SRT for the subtitle and CSV for the cut list.
Questions this page answers
Can I get subtitles for the video?
Yes. SRT and VTT carry the start and the end time of every segment, and the same times are in the transcript and in the CSV export. The subtitle file is made from the same numbers as the edit.
Which formats can I export?
TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT and CSV on every plan, and DOCX on Pro. Six formats in all: the timecodes are in SRT, VTT and CSV and in the table of the Markdown file; the TXT and the Word file carry the words, and the Word file adds the speaker.
Can I fix a word in the transcript?
Yes. A word can be corrected in the editor of the app, and the change is saved to your account. The plain TXT export and the text of the Markdown file carry the corrected text; SRT, VTT, CSV and the Word file are built from the segments with the timecodes.
What does Pro add for a creator?
no minute limit of audio a month, the DOCX export, API keys and the MCP server, for $10 a month when you pay yearly or $20 a month when you pay monthly. The free plan is $0 with 3 files a day and up to 30 minutes per file.
