Frequently asked questions

What can I use video transcripts for?

Video transcripts serve multiple purposes: SEO optimization (search engines index text), content repurposing (blog posts, social media), accessibility compliance, subtitle generation, and creating show notes or summaries.

How long does AI transcription take?

AI transcription is near-instantaneous for most videos. A 10-minute video typically takes 30-60 seconds to transcribe.

Do transcripts improve YouTube SEO?

Yes, adding transcripts to your YouTube videos improves SEO significantly. YouTube uses captions and transcripts to understand video content for search ranking. Videos with transcripts receive 16% more views from search.

What transcript format should I use?

Plain text (.txt) works for blog posts and notes. SRT or VTT formats preserve timestamps for caption synchronization. Choose based on your use case-SRT for subtitles, plain text for repurposing content.

Can AI transcribe multiple speakers?

Yes, advanced AI transcription tools can identify and label different speakers (speaker diarization). This is especially useful for interviews, podcasts, and panel discussions where distinguishing speakers adds context.

Is AI transcription better than manual transcription?

For most use cases, AI transcription offers the best balance of speed, cost, and accuracy. Manual transcription is more accurate (99.9%) but costs $1-3 per minute and takes 4-6x the audio length. AI transcription is instant and free or low-cost.
