FAQ

Do I need subtitles enabled on YouTube?
No. TranscriptX transcribes audio directly and does not depend on YouTube's caption track. Even videos without captions work.
Can I clip by highlighted text?
Yes — selected transcript ranges can be mapped to timestamps for segment downloads. The JSON export contains word-level start/end times for precise clipping.
What format should I export?
TXT for reading, CSV for spreadsheets and content calendars, JSON for programmatic processing or feeding to AI tools. Most users export JSON for flexibility, then derive other formats from it.
Can I download SRT or VTT subtitles?
Not directly today — our JSON export contains all the timestamp data needed to generate SRT/VTT with any standard converter. Direct export is on the roadmap.
How long are transcripts kept on my account?
Indefinitely while your account is active. Re-download anytime.
Are downloads included in the free tier?
Yes, all 3 free transcripts per month include full export access — same formats as paid tiers, no watermark.
Can I batch-download many transcripts?
Yes via our batch workflow. Paste multiple URLs in the input area and process them sequentially. Each transcript is downloadable individually.
Does the download include speaker labels?
No, we don't separate speakers into named labels. For multi-person recordings where speaker labels matter, Otter handles diarization better than we do.
