✓ Works best with
- Voices close to the microphone
- Little echo and quiet or no music
- Clean audio, whether from a video or a sound file
✗ Can't recover
- Overlapping voices
- Wind noise and heavily compressed calls
- Jargon and proper names: always check them
We measured it
- 17 minutes of video transcribed in about 50 seconds, with timestamps per segment. (03-09-2026)
- A 3-minute interview with speaker separation on was transcribed and split by voice in 100 seconds. (19-09-2026)
Measured on airpic.app with the GPU already running. If nobody has used it for a while, the first job takes 40 to 90 seconds longer to start.
Frequently asked questions
Which languages are supported?
All 99 Whisper languages: Spanish, English, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Hindi… Detected automatically; you can pin it if the audio mixes languages.
How accurate is it?
We use Whisper's large model (large-v3) with a voice filter so no text is invented during silences. With clean audio, mistakes cluster around proper names, numbers and jargon: always check those.
How are the subtitles formatted?
The way the trade does it: at most 2 lines of 42 characters, up to 7 seconds per cue, cuts on pauses and punctuation. Drop them straight into YouTube, Premiere or DaVinci.
Can I translate it?
Yes: tick “add English translation” and you also get TXT, SRT and VTT in English (Whisper's own translation).
How long does it take?
About 1 minute per 20-30 minutes of audio when warm, plus 1-2 minutes if the engine starts cold. The bar shows an estimate.
Do you keep my videos?
No. The video is processed and deleted: 1 hour after download, 24 h at most. No copies.
Can it tell who is speaking?
Yes: tick “Identify speakers” and the text and subtitles are labelled “Speaker 1”, “Speaker 2” and so on when there is more than one voice. It works best with clear turns; if voices overlap a lot it may merge them.
Can I correct the transcript before downloading it?
Yes: the result opens in an editor next to the video; click a sentence to jump to that moment and fix the text. Then download the corrected SRT or TXT.
Is it free to transcribe a video?
Processing and previewing the transcript is free, with no account. You get 1 free full-size download every month; after that you pay with credits that never expire, no subscription.
