Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from YouTube Transcript?

YouTube Transcript extracts existing captions/subtitles (fast, 3 credits). YouTube Transcriber uses AI to transcribe the actual audio — it works even when the video has no subtitles, but takes longer and costs 2 credits per minute.

Does it work with videos that have no subtitles?

Yes! That's exactly what this tool is for. We download the audio and transcribe it with Deepgram Nova-3 AI, regardless of whether captions exist.

How accurate is the AI transcription?

Deepgram Nova-3 achieves 98%+ accuracy on clear audio in supported languages. Accuracy may decrease with heavy background noise or overlapping speakers.

How long does transcription take?

Typically 1-3 minutes depending on video length. A 10-minute video usually takes about 1-2 minutes to process.

What languages are supported?

100+ languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, and more. Language is auto-detected or you can specify it manually.

How much does it cost?

2 credits per minute of video. A 10-minute video costs 20 credits. Sign up free and get 30 minutes of transcription included.

Is my data safe?

Audio is downloaded to our servers for processing only. It is deleted immediately after transcription completes. We never store your audio or train on your data.
