Frequently asked questions
How is this different from YouTube’s built-in transcript?
YouTube auto-captions have no punctuation, poor formatting and frequent errors. Our AI transcription produces clean, punctuated, readable text you can actually publish or quote.
Is it free?
Yes — 3 videos per day with no signup, up to 20 minutes each. A free Atomiser account (no card) removes the length cap via monthly credits and unlocks exports.
Can I get subtitles (SRT) for the YouTube video?
Yes. With a free account you can export the transcript as SRT/VTT, or burn animated captions directly onto clips from the video.
Does it work in languages other than English?
Yes — language is auto-detected, with 20+ languages supported including Hindi, Spanish and Portuguese.
Can I turn the video into clips or show notes too?
That’s exactly what Atomiser does: one YouTube link becomes viral clips with captions, a thumbnail, show notes, and social posts. The transcript is just the start.
