Frequently Asked Questions
Paste any public CBS Local URL into STT.ai and we'll fetch the audio/video, run it through your chosen AI model, and return the transcript. No download step required.
No — STT.ai accesses publicly-available CBS Local content directly. Private or paywalled CBS Local content requires you to download it manually with the original account, then upload the file.
Yes. STT.ai includes 600 free minutes/month — usable for CBS Local URLs the same as uploaded files. Paid plans starting at $5/month extend per-file limits.
Free users can transcribe CBS Local content up to 1 hour per item; paid plans extend that to 8+ hours per item, which covers full podcast episodes, lectures, and live streams.
For pre-recorded CBS Local content, paste the URL and we handle the rest. For live CBS Local streams, use STT.ai's live-transcription tool — point it at the stream URL and get captions in real time.

CBS Local URL transcription accuracy depends on the audio quality of the source — clear studio audio reaches 93-95% with our best models. Low-bitrate streams or noisy field recordings can be lower.
CBS Local transcripts are private to your account by default. Pro plans add client-side encryption — even STT.ai can't read them without your key. Source audio is deleted after transcription.
Yes. Submit multiple CBS Local URLs through the REST API or the in-app batch upload — each gets queued and you're notified by email when each finishes. Useful for podcast back-catalogs, course archives, and CBS Local channel migrations.
