Frequently asked questions

The run fails for that video at once, free, and lists the caption languages it does have.

$0.0007 per delivered transcript ($0.70 per 1,000). No start fee, no per-run fee. A video without captions costs nothing.

Only public videos that have captions, manual or auto-generated. Private, removed and age-restricted videos cannot be read, and there is no audio transcription or translation.
