FAQ

Answers before you download

What languages are supported?

VidNotes supports English plus 30+ languages and accents. You can mix languages in one video.

How accurate is the transcription?

We use state-of-the-art speech-to-text and tune for clarity. Expect high accuracy on clean audio; noisy audio still works but improves with headphones or mics.

Can I use it offline?

You can queue videos while offline; processing happens once you’re back online so results stay synced.

What’s the maximum video length?

Ideal for short clips up to long lectures and meetings. Longer videos process in the background with progress updates.

Is my data secure and private?

Your files stay private. We don’t sell data, and processing is encrypted with no long-term storage of your video files.
