Frequently Asked Questions
Paste the Snapchat Spotlight post or clip URL into STT.ai. We grab the audio from the short-form video, transcribe it in seconds, and produce ready-to-burn captions — handy for reposting the same Snapchat Spotlight clip with subtitles.
No — STT.ai reads publicly-available Snapchat Spotlight content directly from the URL. Private or age/region-gated Snapchat Spotlight content has to be downloaded manually with the original account first, then uploaded as a file.

Free users can transcribe Snapchat Spotlight content up to 1 hour per item; paid plans extend that to 8+ hours per item, enough for the longest Snapchat Spotlight clip you're likely to hit.

Snapchat Spotlight 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.
