Can I transcribe a video without captions?
Yes, with Premium AI audio transcription. Free extraction uses existing captions; AI processes the audio to create the transcript.
How do I choose the transcript language?
The language selector inside the tool controls the requested text language. Availability depends on the video and transcription service. The page language selector changes only the interface.
