FAQ
Auto Transcription FAQs
How fast does CapsAI transcribe audio?
Processing time depends on the length of your video. CapsAI has not published speed benchmarks, so try a short clip first.
Does CapsAI label different speakers?
CapsAI transcribes the speech in the recording. Review the draft carefully where speakers overlap or interrupt each other, and edit the text if you need to identify who is speaking.
Is there a maximum file length for transcription?
Each upload is limited to 10 minutes of video. Split a longer recording into parts, caption each part, and join the exports in your video editor. Processing uses minutes from your free allowance or one-time pack, so check your remaining minutes first.
Can I edit the transcript after generation?
Yes. The editor lets you correct words, punctuation, line breaks, and timing before export. The export is an MP4 with the captions burned in. Separate SRT or VTT files are not available from the editor yet; the standalone converters under /tools work on subtitle files you already have. Downloading the transcript as a separate text file is not currently available either.
Which files can I upload?
The uploader accepts MP4 or MOV video files. Audio-only files and pasted video URLs are not part of the caption workflow.
Can I download SRT or VTT subtitle files?
The export is an MP4 with the captions burned in. Separate SRT or VTT files are not available from the editor yet; the standalone converters under /tools work on subtitle files you already have.
How accurate are the captions?
Accuracy depends on audio clarity, background noise, accents, and language selection. CapsAI creates a first draft and lets you edit captions before export.
How much can I try for free?
You can start with 3 free minutes. Free video export may include a CapsAI watermark; watermark-free video export is listed as a paid-plan benefit.
