Questions
How do I transcribe a video?
Pick the video on Extractune, extract the audio, then tap Get the words. The transcript appears in a few seconds, ready to copy.
Which languages work?
Most widely spoken languages. The language is detected from the audio itself, so there's nothing to choose.
Does my video get uploaded?
No, the video never leaves your device. When you tap Get the words, the extracted audio (compressed, never the video) is sent to be transcribed, and a 20-second clip to check whether it's a known song. Extractune doesn't keep either after the request.
Is it free?
Yes, with a fair-use limit on how many videos you can transcribe per hour, to keep it free for everyone.
