Transcribe audio (speech-to-text)

transcribe

Optional

ON: transcribes the spoken audio (per-phrase timestamps included). OFF: metadata only — title, description/caption, duration — at a fraction of the price, no transcription fee. Note: free Apify accounts are limited to 5 videos and 1 transcription per month — any paid Apify plan unlocks everything.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Translate transcript to

translateTo

Optional

Optionally add a translation of each transcript, returned in the item's translation field ($0.01 per video, charged only when a translation is actually delivered — if translation fails, the item simply has no translation field and nothing is charged). Requires 'Transcribe audio' to be ON.

Type:string

Default:none

Options:

noneenaresfrdepttrhiid

Optional

Also render each transcript as a ready-to-save subtitle file in the chosen format, returned in the item's subtitles field. Free — no extra charge.
