Why Transcapt

Built for modern streaming audio

AAC is the default codec for YouTube audio, Apple Music, and most streaming services. Transcapt handles AAC files natively with no conversion step.

Lower file sizes than MP3 at equal quality

AAC compresses more efficiently than MP3 at comparable quality. Transcription accuracy is unaffected — you get the same output quality with smaller uploads.

Broadcast and podcast workflows

Radio broadcasts and podcast masters are frequently delivered as AAC. Transcapt extracts text with timestamps ready for show notes, closed captions, or archival search.

Export to TXT, SRT, DOCX, PDF

All export formats included on every transcription. No paywall for DOCX or PDF output — get them all by default.

Pay-per-use pricing, no subscription

Pay only for the minutes you transcribe. Credits never expire.

Frequently asked questions

Is AAC transcription accuracy lower than WAV?+

Practically no. AAC is lossy but at typical bitrates (128-256 kbps) the detail removed doesn't meaningfully affect speech transcription. For studio-quality voice, AAC and WAV yield near-identical results.

Can I transcribe an AAC file from a streaming capture?+

Yes. Upload the AAC file directly — Transcapt processes it the same as any other audio input. Make sure you have the right to transcribe the content (personal use, research, owned recordings).

What's the maximum AAC file size?+

Up to 2 GB, which comfortably covers multi-hour broadcasts at standard bitrates.

Does Transcapt preserve multi-channel audio in AAC?+

Transcapt transcribes the summed audio. If your AAC has multiple speaker channels, speaker detection depends on voice distinguishability, not channel separation.

Can I convert AAC to SRT for broadcast captioning?+

Yes. Export as SRT with timestamps — the format is directly compatible with broadcast captioning workflows and HTML5 video players.
