Frequently Asked Questions
Paste the CBS Local article or broadcast URL into STT.ai. We extract the embedded audio or video segment, transcribe it with timestamps, and make every quote searchable — useful for sourcing and citation against the original CBS Local clip.
No — STT.ai reads publicly-available CBS Local content directly from the URL. Private or age/region-gated CBS Local content has to be downloaded manually with the original account first, then uploaded as a file.
Yes. STT.ai includes 600 free minutes/month — usable for CBS Local URLs exactly like uploaded files. Paid plans starting at $5/month extend per-item length limits.
Free users can transcribe CBS Local content up to 1 hour per item; paid plans extend that to 8+ hours per item, enough for the longest CBS Local segment you're likely to hit.
For pre-recorded CBS Local content, paste the URL and we do the rest. For a live CBS Local stream, switch to STT.ai's live-transcription tool — point it at the stream and watch captions appear in real time.
DRM-protected CBS Local content cannot be transcribed — we don't bypass DRM. For those, capture the audio through your OS (system audio recorder, OBS) and upload the resulting file directly.
Yes. 100+ languages, auto-detected by default. For mixed-language CBS Local content, our models handle language switches mid-clip.
Yes. Speaker diarization runs on every CBS Local transcription — Speaker 1, Speaker 2, … labels you rename in the editor. Works for CBS Local interviews, debates, and panels.
Yes. Every CBS Local transcript exports as SRT or VTT, ready to upload back to CBS Local or any video platform — and our burn-subtitles tool can hardcode them onto the clip for reposting.
CBS Local URL transcription accuracy tracks the source audio quality — clean studio audio reaches 93-95% with our best models; low-bitrate streams or noisy field recordings land 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 is queued and you're emailed when it finishes. Useful for bulk-processing a set of CBS Local links in one go.
