Turn English recordings into text you can review, subtitle and share with AI transcription.
Taption is an online tool that uses AI to transcribe English audio and video into English text. Taption groups speech into meaningful subtitle segments, making subtitles easier to read and helping preserve context when translating into other languages. After signing in, you can edit the transcript and export TXT or PDF documents, or SRT or VTT subtitles. You can also translate the reviewed transcript into Spanish or another supported language and create bilingual subtitles.

An ordinary word and a product name can sound alike. Keep a reference list of people, organizations and technical terms beside the recording. Correct the first occurrence, then review the remaining matches before using a broad replacement.
Select the closest available English setting and test a representative passage. Review spelling such as “organize” and “organise” against your publication style. Background noise, accents and microphone quality can affect recognition; no setting removes the need to listen back.
For interviews, review the speaker changes as well as the words. Two people speaking at once can make attribution unclear. Check sentence boundaries and timestamps around interruptions before turning the transcript into captions.
This short example shows the difference between a readable transcript and a timed subtitle file. Names, numbers and regional spelling still need a human check before publication.

We corrected the product name and checked the launch date.
Then we exported the subtitles for the training video.
Sign up, add an audio or video file, and confirm that the recording contains clear, audible speech.
Select the spoken language, then choose the output format and speaker options that fit your recording. The website display language does not choose the transcription language.
Choose English (United States), English (United Kingdom) or English (Australia) to match your recording. A regional setting is a starting point, not a guarantee of a particular spelling style.
Listen back while correcting the text, names and speaker labels. Check subtitle timing and line breaks before exporting. Translate the reviewed source if you need another language.
TXT · PDF
Use plain text for editing or reuse, or a PDF for a document you can read and share. A transcript document is different from a timed subtitle track.
SRT · VTT
Keep caption text and timestamps together for a video platform or editor. Review the timing and line length against the recording.
MP4 · FCPXML
Export a video with visible subtitles, or use FCPXML in a compatible post-production workflow. Video quality and available export options depend on your plan.
English transcription keeps English speech in English text. To make Spanish or another supported language version, review the source transcript and use Taption’s translation workflow. Check translated names, terminology and line breaks before exporting single-language or bilingual subtitles.

Up to 5 hours per file. The file-size limit is 5GB, or 10GB with a subscription, measured against the MP4 equivalent.
Transcription and translation use minutes separately. Check your balance and the cost shown before processing. Export options and video quality depend on your plan.

Taption lists English (United States), English (United Kingdom) and English (Australia). Choose the closest match to your recording, then review a short section before processing a larger collection. Confirm regional spelling during editing.
Yes. Upload an audio file such as MP3, WAV or M4A, or a video such as MP4 or MOV. Transcription follows the spoken audio; on-screen text is not a substitute for an audible recording.
Speaker labeling is available. Choose the speaker-related output options when setting up the transcription, then check labels and turn boundaries in the editor. Overlapping speech may require corrections.
No uniform accuracy result is established here. Try a representative clip with your speakers, microphones and subject matter. Listen back to uncertain passages, proper names, numbers and technical terms before using the text.
Transcribe the English recording first, review the English text, then select Spanish in the translation workflow. Translation is a separate operation that uses minutes. Review both language tracks before exporting subtitles.
Yes. TXT is suitable for plain text and PDF for a readable document. Choose SRT or VTT when you need timed captions, FCPXML for a compatible editing workflow, or MP4 when you want subtitles visible in the video.
