Frequently asked questions
What is a timestamped transcript?
A timestamped transcript (also called a time-coded transcript) is a text version of audio or video where each line includes the exact time it was spoken — for example, "00:01:23 → Hello, welcome to the show." This lets you sync the text with the original media.
How do I create a time-coded transcript for free?
Upload your audio or video file using the tool above. Mictoo automatically generates a transcript with timestamps and lets you download it as an SRT file or plain text.
What is an SRT file?
SRT (SubRip Subtitle) is a standard subtitle file format that contains timestamped text segments. SRT files are supported by YouTube, Netflix, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, and most other video platforms and editors.
Can I use the SRT file for YouTube captions?
Yes. After downloading the .srt file, go to YouTube Studio → Subtitles → Add Language → Upload file. Your time-coded captions will be synced with the video automatically.
How accurate are the timestamps?
Timestamps are generated at the segment level (usually every 5–15 seconds). Accuracy is high for clear audio. Overlapping speakers or heavy background noise may affect precision.
What is the difference between a transcript and a time-coded transcript?
A plain transcript is a text-only version of the audio. A time-coded transcript adds timestamps so each section can be matched back to a specific moment in the recording — essential for captioning, subtitles, and editing.
What file formats are supported for timestamped transcription?
MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A, OGG, WEBM, FLAC. Any audio or video file up to 25 MB.
