FAQPage Schema
How do I transcribe audio files with timestamps for subtitle creation?

Transcribe audio files with timestamps by processing spoken audio through speech-to-text models to generate segment or word-level timing for subtitle workflows. The transcription supports multilingual recordings and outputs accurate text with precise timing.

Can I transcribe audio in multiple languages and translate it to English?

Multilingual transcription supports 99 languages with automatic language detection, translating non-English speech into English text. This handles multilingual recordings and identifies the spoken language automatically without manual configuration.

Does speech-to-text work with noisy audio or domain-specific recordings?

Speech-to-text processing handles noisy audio and domain-specific recordings by using flexible model sizes from tiny to large. Optional language prompts and GPU acceleration improve transcription robustness across challenging audio conditions and domain vocabulary.

How do I generate meeting notes or podcast transcripts from audio?

Generate meeting notes and podcast transcripts by processing audio files through speech-to-text models that convert spoken content into accurate text. Batch processing handles multiple audio files for efficient podcast transcription and meeting note generation workflows.

Do I need ffmpeg for audio input processing?

ffmpeg is required for audio input processing to handle various audio formats before speech-to-text conversion. The transcription workflow uses ffmpeg audio input with OpenAI Whisper models ranging from tiny to large for flexible processing.
