Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to get you started fast.
How do I transcribe a video to text?
Upload your video to Reclip's transcription tool and click Transcribe Video. The AI processes the audio and returns a full text transcript.
How do I transcribe a YouTube video?
Download the YouTube video first using Reclip's Video Downloader, then upload the MP4 to the transcription tool and click Transcribe.
Does the transcription include timestamps?
Yes — the transcript shows timestamps for each segment. Toggle timestamps on or off before copying.
How accurate is the AI transcription?
Reclip uses AI-powered speech recognition that handles most accents, speaking speeds, and styles. Accuracy is highest for clear speech with minimal background noise.
What video formats are supported for transcription?
You can upload MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and WebM files. Audio-only files are not currently supported — the tool accepts video files and extracts the audio automatically.
Can I get a transcript without timestamps?
Yes — uncheck 'Include timestamps' before clicking Copy all to get clean plain text with no time markers.
Can I transcribe a long video?
Video length limits depend on your plan. Pro and Creator plans support longer videos with faster processing.
What languages does the transcription support?
The AI transcription model supports dozens of languages. Results are most accurate for English, but most major languages are handled well.
Can I use the transcript for subtitles or captions?
Yes. The timestamped transcript gives you the raw material to create subtitles — copy the segments into a subtitle editor or SRT file.
Is this the same as YouTube's auto-generated captions?
No. Reclip transcribes your own uploaded video files — it doesn't pull YouTube's auto-captions. The output is a clean, copyable text transcript from the actual audio.
