Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know.

How do I convert video to text?

Sign up for free, upload your video file, and FlowSub transcribes it to text using OpenAI Whisper. The process takes 1–3 minutes. Download as TXT, SRT, VTT, or ASS.

What's the difference between video-to-text and subtitle generation?

Video-to-text gives you a plain text transcript — ideal for content writing, SEO, and archiving. Subtitle generation produces timestamped caption files (SRT, VTT) for video players and editors. FlowSub does both from the same upload.

Can I transcribe long videos?

Yes. FlowSub handles files up to 500 MB. Automatic chunking processes long recordings in segments — a 60-minute video takes about 5–8 minutes to transcribe completely.

How accurate is the transcription?

OpenAI Whisper achieves near human-level accuracy on clear audio. FlowSub processes PCM chunks directly (not lossy conversion), preserving audio quality for maximum accuracy.

Can I transcribe video in multiple languages?

Yes. Whisper auto-detects and transcribes 29+ languages. Pro users can translate transcripts into any language via AI translation.

What can I do with the text transcript?

Publish as a blog post, add to your video page for SEO, search through it for key quotes, submit as meeting notes, or feed into AI tools for summaries and analysis.
