Frequently Asked Questions
Paste any public Google Drive video URL into STT.ai. We fetch the video, extract its audio track, run it through your chosen AI model, and return the transcript with SRT/VTT subtitles — no download step required. Example Google Drive link format: https://drive.google.com/file/d/abc123def/view
No — STT.ai reads publicly-available Google Drive content directly from the URL. Private or age/region-gated Google Drive 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 Google Drive URLs exactly like uploaded files. Paid plans starting at $5/month extend per-item length limits.
Free users can transcribe Google Drive content up to 1 hour per item; paid plans extend that to 8+ hours per item, enough for the longest Google Drive video you're likely to hit.
For pre-recorded Google Drive content, paste the URL and we do the rest. For a live Google Drive stream, switch to STT.ai's live-transcription tool — point it at the stream and watch captions appear in real time.
DRM-protected Google Drive 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 Google Drive content, our models handle language switches mid-clip.
Yes. Speaker diarization runs on every Google Drive transcription — Speaker 1, Speaker 2, … labels you rename in the editor. Works for Google Drive interviews, debates, and panels.
Yes. Every Google Drive transcript exports as SRT or VTT, ready to upload back to Google Drive or any video platform — and our burn-subtitles tool can hardcode them onto the clip for reposting.
Google Drive 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.
Google Drive 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 Google Drive 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 Google Drive links in one go.
Beyond Google Drive, STT.ai supports 1,300+ platforms — including YouTube, Vimeo, and other video hosts. The /transcribe/ directory lists every supported source.
