Transcription and Subtitles
Turn audio and video into text, record and transcribe in real time, and generate SRT, VTT, or burned-in subtitles.

Async jobs
Transcription and subtitle generation run as background jobs — you can leave the page and come back; results are attached to your account when signed in. The same jobs are available programmatically via POST /v1/transcriptions and POST /v1/subtitles with status polling at GET /v1/jobs/{jobId} — see the API overview.
