FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to extract audio from MP4 first?
No. Upload the MP4 directly and VoiceScribe transcribes the embedded audio track.

SRT exports include timing cues aligned to the spoken audio in your MP4.
Can I use this for screen recordings?
Yes. MP4 screen captures, demos, and webinar recordings are supported.
