What video formats do you support for transcription?

Upload Instagram content as MP4 or MOV, the formats your camera roll saves Reels and Stories in, plus AVI, MKV, and every other major video or audio format. There is no conversion step: drop in the file or paste a Reel link and Scribe starts transcribing within moments.

How accurate are the transcripts?

Scribe tops accuracy benchmarks and holds that accuracy on Instagram audio: phone-mic voiceovers, trending sounds under speech, and multi-speaker Lives. Every transcript arrives with speaker labels, word-level timestamps, and audio event tags, so the text you pull into captions or a blog post reflects exactly what was said.

Can I edit the transcript after it's generated?

Click any word in the editor to correct a misheard word or cut filler before the text becomes a caption. Break a long Live into shorter segments, relabel who said what in a collab, and nudge word timing so your subtitles stay synced to the final cut.

What export formats are available?

Export SRT or VTT when you need subtitle tracks for Reels, TXT for caption and alt text drafts, DOCX or PDF when a Live becomes a blog post, and JSON or HTML for structured workflows. Every format downloads straight from the editor, ready to publish.

Can I use this for multilingual content?

Scribe transcribes 90+ languages, including underserved ones like Serbian and Cantonese, while detecting the language automatically. A Reel that switches between English and Spanish mid-sentence transcribes cleanly with no manual switching, so your captions and translations reach every segment of your audience.

Not just transcription. Audio understanding

Scribe reads through trending audio, voice effects, and rapid cuts to deliver structured text with speaker labels, timestamps, and audio event tags.

#1 Accuracy

Scribe delivers clean text from Reels recorded on phone mics, over music beds, or mid-crowd, and it leads accuracy benchmarks.

Edit the transcripts

Tighten a caption in the transcript editor before it ships. Split or merge segments, reassign speakers from a collab Live, and adjust timing on any word.

Sensors pulsed with irregular patterns, the kind no algorithm could quite reconcile.
