Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between SRT and VTT?
Both carry the text and its timing. SRT is the most widely accepted by video editors and social media; VTT is the standard for video on the web. You can download both.
Is it really free?
Yes. With no account and no card you can transcribe the first 10 minutes of each file, up to 3 files a day. With a free account you upload whole files of up to 2 GB.
What happens to my file?
It’s transcribed on Edorteam’s servers in the European Union, with our own AI: it isn’t sent to other companies or used to train models. The file is deleted when it’s done and the text after 24 hours.
Why do I have to wait?
Free tools queue behind the meetings of account holders: your file starts as soon as the transcriber is free. It usually takes seconds or a few minutes.
Can I fix or translate them?
With a free account you get Echo’s subtitle editor: fix the text and timing while you watch the video, translate them into other languages and download the video with burned-in subtitles.
