Video transcript questions
How do I get a transcript from a video link?
Paste a public MP4 or WebM file URL into the tool above. We verify the source and duration before accepting an AI transcription job. Review the resulting text against the source video.
What video URLs are supported?
Direct public HTTPS MP4 and WebM URLs are supported, including public CDN or object-storage files. The file must be accessible without credentials and support reliable range reads. A filename extension alone does not prove it is a video.
Can I upload a video file?
No. This tool accepts public video file links. It does not offer local upload, drag and drop, audio-only transcription, or batch submission.
Can I paste a YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram link?
Use the corresponding dedicated reader linked above. X and Facebook also have their own readers. This page is for direct video files.
How are direct video files transcribed?
Supadata processes the spoken audio with AI. Language is detected automatically. Your plan’s limit for generating subtitles from video audio applies; this tool does not retrieve a platform caption track or translate the result.
Can I download TXT, SRT, or VTT?
Yes. TXT is available for usable transcripts. SRT and VTT are available when the result includes reliable cue timing. You can also copy text and export highlighted passages.
Why can a public-looking link fail?
A link may return a webpage, require authentication, expire, redirect to an unsafe destination, lack range support, or expose no reliable video duration. These checks happen before a transcript-provider call. Browser codec support can also differ; the transcript remains usable if source playback fails.
How long can a video be?
A guest job can be up to 3 minutes, a Free account job up to 15 minutes, and a Pro job up to 5 hours, subject to remaining minutes of video transcribed from audio and request allowances. Longer processing can return an asynchronous job; we check that same job rather than resubmit it.
