Can it handle multi-hour recordings?
Yes — long videos and broadcasts enter a background queue, so you can close the tab and return later.
How accurate is the transcription?
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.
Do I need to create an account?
No account is needed to try a video. Create a free account to unlock up to 3 transcriptions and 1000 minutes per month, then save your transcripts across sessions.
Which languages does LongScribe support?
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?
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.
