Questions and answers

Is transcription free?<br>Yes. The free plan includes up to 3 transcriptions and 700 transcription minutes per month — no card, no install.

Which platforms do you support?<br>YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitch, X, Dailymotion and SoundCloud. Just paste a link.

Which formats can I download?<br>Plain text (TXT), timed subtitles (SRT), a Word document (DOCX) and JSON data for further use.

Can it handle multi-hour recordings?<br>Yes — long videos and broadcasts enter a background queue, so you can close the tab and return later.

How accurate is the transcription?<br>Accuracy varies with audio quality, language, background noise and overlapping speakers. Existing captions can be faster, but they retain any errors in the source captions. Review names, numbers and technical terms before publishing.

Which languages does Longscribe support?<br>Dozens of languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Polish, Ukrainian, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic and many more. Set the language manually or leave auto-detect on.

How do I add subtitles to my video?<br>Download the SRT file and upload it in YouTube Studio (Subtitles → Upload file), in VLC (Subtitle → Add subtitle file) or drag it into your video editor.
