Frequently Asked Questions
Paste the Twitter/X 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 Twitter/X clip with subtitles. Example Twitter/X link format: https://x.com/user/status/1234567890123456789
No — STT.ai reads publicly-available Twitter/X content directly from the URL. Private or age/region-gated Twitter/X 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 Twitter/X URLs exactly like uploaded files. Paid plans starting at $5/month extend per-item length limits.
Free users can transcribe Twitter/X content up to 1 hour per item; paid plans extend that to 8+ hours per item, enough for the longest Twitter/X clip you're likely to hit.
For pre-recorded Twitter/X content, paste the URL and we do the rest. For a live Twitter/X stream, switch to STT.ai's live-transcription tool — point it at the stream and watch captions appear in real time.
DRM-protected Twitter/X 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 Twitter/X content, our models handle language switches mid-clip.
Yes. Speaker diarization runs on every Twitter/X transcription — Speaker 1, Speaker 2, … labels you rename in the editor. Works for Twitter/X interviews, debates, and panels.
Yes. Every Twitter/X transcript exports as SRT or VTT, ready to upload back to Twitter/X or any video platform — and our burn-subtitles tool can hardcode them onto the clip for reposting.
Twitter/X 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.
Twitter/X 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 Twitter/X 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 Twitter/X links in one go.
Beyond Twitter/X, STT.ai supports 1,300+ platforms — including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X (Twitter). The /transcribe/ directory lists every supported source.
