Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the transcription?▾
We use OpenAI Whisper, which handles accents, jargon and 50+ languages well. The text is then restructured into readable sections rather than a wall of unformatted words.
Can I get exact quotes with timestamps?▾
Yes. Each section includes a verbatim pull quote, and the JSON output carries a startTimeSeconds field per section so you can cite the exact moment.
What languages are supported?▾
Any language Whisper supports, including English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German and Japanese. The output document is written in the same language as the video.
