Which platforms are supported?+
YouTube (including Shorts), TikTok, Instagram, X, Vimeo, and cloud-drive links, or upload a video or audio file. YouTube uses the video’s own captions; everything else is transcribed by speech recognition.

Which export formats are available?+

Are transcripts always accurate?+
