Getting started
- Upload the recording and select its spoken language; for multilingual audio, select every language present.
- Review the transcript while listening, correcting names, numbers and speaker labels before reusing quotations.
- For subtitles, split the corrected text and adjust line length, reading speed and timing to suit the video.
- Export Word or TXT for reading, or SRT/VTT for subtitles; open the downloaded file in its intended destination.
Decision points
- Choose transcription for the original speech; request translation only after correcting the source transcript.
- For multilingual recordings, check the current duration limit before upload and split long material when necessary.
Limits
- Unclear audio and closely related languages can require substantial correction; language support is not an accuracy guarantee. This is an official documentation review, not a hands-on test.
- Right-to-left subtitles can display alignment problems, especially with numbers or Latin text. Check them in the target player.
- This is a web workflow. Check current account and plan conditions before committing a large recording collection.
Frequently asked questions
Must I translate before creating subtitles?
No. Subtitles can use the original language. Translation is a separate choice, and a corrected source transcript is the safer starting point.
Why is the export control missing?
Open the transcript itself in the editor, rather than remaining on the dashboard. Review the format and speaker or timestamp options before downloading.
