Frequently Asked Questions
What is the VTT format?
WebVTT (Web Video Text Tracks) is the native caption format for HTML5 video.
VTT files are used with the <track> element in web browsers and support:
- CSS styling and positioning
- Metadata and cue settings
- Native browser support
It's the modern standard for web video captions.
VTT vs SRT — which should I use?
Use VTT for web video — HTML5 players, browsers, and web apps. It's the native web standard.
Use SRT for everything else — video editors, desktop players (VLC), YouTube/Vimeo uploads.
- VTT — CSS styling, positioning, modern browsers
- SRT — Broader legacy support, universal compatibility

How do I add VTT captions to my website?
Add the VTT file using the HTML5 <track> element:
<video>
<track src="captions.vtt" kind="captions" srclang="en">
</video>The browser handles caption display automatically.
Works in all modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
How accurate are the timestamps?
Our AI generates word-level timestamps using OpenAI Whisper V3 Large — one of the most accurate speech recognition models available.
Timestamps are typically accurate to within a few hundred milliseconds.
This precision is ideal for synchronized web captions where audio and text must align perfectly.

How are credits calculated for this conversion?
Cost: 1 credit per minute
How it works:
- Files up to 1 minutes: 1 credit (minimum)
- 2 minutes: 2 credits
- 3 minutes: 3 credits
- 4 minutes: 4 credits
Example: A 10-minute file = 10 credits. A 180-minute (3h) audiobook = 180 credits.
Why per-minute? Audio conversion time scales with content duration, not file size. Longer audio requires proportionally more processing.
What are my daily and monthly credit limits?
Credit allocations vary by account tier:
| Tier | Daily Limit | Monthly Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 50 credits/day | — |
| Pro | — | 10,000 credits/month |
| Business | — | 25,000 credits/month |
Daily credits (Free tier, including guests) reset every day at midnight UTC. Monthly credits (Pro & Business) reset on your billing cycle date.
Note: With 1 credit per minute, audio files under 1 MB cost 1 credit each. Pro users can convert 10,000 audio files per month.
