Frequently Asked Questions
Paste the lynda lecture or course URL into STT.ai. We handle multi-hour recordings, transcribe the full session, and produce searchable notes and study material from the lynda content.
No — STT.ai reads publicly-available lynda content directly from the URL. Private or age/region-gated lynda 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 lynda URLs exactly like uploaded files. Paid plans starting at $5/month extend per-item length limits.
Free users get up to 1 hour per lecture; paid plans extend that to 8+ hours — which covers full lynda episodes, multi-part lectures, and back-catalog binges in a single pass.
For pre-recorded lynda content, paste the URL and we do the rest. For a live lynda stream, switch to STT.ai's live-transcription tool — point it at the stream and watch captions appear in real time.
DRM-protected lynda 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 lynda content, our models handle language switches mid-clip.
Yes. Speaker diarization runs on every lynda transcription — Speaker 1, Speaker 2, … labels you rename in the editor. Works for lynda interviews, debates, and panels.
Export lynda transcripts as DOCX, PDF, TXT, or JSON for notes, sharing, and archiving — plus SRT/VTT if you later pair the audio with video. Most lynda users reach for DOCX or PDF.
lynda 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.
lynda 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 many lynda URLs at once through the REST API or in-app batch upload — each is queued and you get an email per finish. Built for podcast back-catalogs, full course archives, and lynda channel migrations.
Beyond lynda, STT.ai supports 1,300+ platforms — including YouTube lectures, Coursera, and university course portals. The /transcribe/ directory lists every supported source.
