Frequently asked questions
Can Possibl transcribe automatically from just a YouTube link?
For now Possibl transcribes from the audio or video file you upload. Once the transcript is ready, you can link your YouTube video's URL to it so playback stays in sync with the original video on YouTube, with no need to keep the original file on your device.
How do I link a YouTube video to a transcript?
Open the finished transcript, click "Add", choose "External media", and enter your YouTube video's URL. The transcript player syncs with that video automatically.
How is this different from YouTube's built-in "Show transcript"?
YouTube's built-in transcript is often less accurate for many languages and does not separate speakers. Possibl detects speakers automatically and can export to PDF, Word, Excel, TXT, or SRT.
How much does YouTube video transcription cost on Possibl?
Possibl has four pricing tiers: Lite $0.15/hour, Standard $0.20/hour, Medium $0.35/hour, and Turbo $0.55/hour. There is no subscription fee.
