Frequently asked questions

Is this transcript generator private?

Yes. The transcription runs in your browser, requires no account or login, shows no ads, and does not upload your audio or video file.

Can I download a timed transcript as JSON?

Yes. Choose Timed transcript JSON before processing to download cue-level timestamps and word-level timing when available.

Why does the first transcription take longer?

The browser downloads the speech-to-text model the first time you use the tool. Later runs can reuse the cached model.
