From video to transcript, automatically

Normally, transcribing a video with Whisper means extracting the audio yourself, running it through a script or tool, and formatting the output. CaptionLab does all three steps as one action from your timeline.

🎧

Automatic audio extraction

CaptionLab pulls audio from your selected clip or sequence — no manual export step.

🧾

Full transcript or captions

The same underlying transcription works as a readable transcript or as timed SRT captions.

🈳

Original language or English

Transcribe as-spoken, or translate directly to English in the same step.

Accuracy for real-world audio

Whisper was trained on a large, varied dataset that includes background noise, accents, and multiple languages — which tends to make it noticeably more robust on real production audio (on-location interviews, imperfect mic placement) than older, narrower speech-recognition models.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work on interviews with background noise?
Whisper is trained to handle reasonably noisy audio better than most older speech-recognition engines, though very poor audio quality will still affect any transcription tool's accuracy.
Can I get a plain text transcript, not just captions?
The SRT output is fully readable as a transcript — the timestamps just come along with it.
Does it handle multiple speakers?
CaptionLab transcribes what's said without speaker-diarization labels (identifying who said what) in the current version.
