  2. Start subtitles

Live, ahead of playback, or the whole video

Live subtitles follow the audio as it plays. On supported sources transcript1 can fetch, it transcribes ahead of playback for in-sync subtitles. Switch to whole video on those sources to prepare the entire transcript before jumping around.

Availability and minutes

The extensions are in private testing. Public Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons listings are coming soon. You can use the web dashboard now to transcribe a supported link or uploaded file.

Use your transcript1 account and minute balance. Live sessions use 1 credit per started minute of connected time. Ahead-of-playback transcription is charged as audio is transcribed; whole-video mode is charged for the full video length. Stop subtitles when you finish.

Bring it to your browser.

Stay on the video. Let transcript1 bring the words to you.

Frequently asked questions

Something missing? Ask support

Can I install it from a browser store today?

Public store listings are not available yet. The extension is being tested in private builds. You can start with the web dashboard while the listings are prepared.

Does it work on every page?

It works with ordinary video players where the extension has permission. Browser-internal pages and inaccessible players are outside its reach. DRM-protected video audio capture is supported in Chrome, not Firefox.

Do I need an API key?

No. Sign in with your transcript1 account. The extension uses your account balance; the REST API is also available separately for building your own tools.

Are my live subtitles saved?

Yes, live-session saving is on by default. You can turn it off in settings. Saved sessions appear in your transcripts in the dashboard.
