Hey everyone! šŸ‘‹ I built Vocova to solve a simple problem — people consume content across languages and platforms every day, but turning that content into accurate, readable text is still painfully fragmented. You need one tool to download, another to transcribe, another to translate. It should be one step. We built Vocova the way you'd build a piece of art — every detail is intentional. How natural the speaker labels read, how precisely timestamps align with every word, how a bilingual export looks like a polished document rather than a raw data dump. We don't ship anything that we wouldn't be proud to put our name on. Here's what you can do with Vocova today: šŸŽ™ Transcribe audio & video in 100+ languages šŸ”— Import directly from YouTube, TikTok, Zoom, and 1,000+ platforms šŸ—£ Automatic speaker identification — rename and merge with one click šŸŒ Translate transcripts into 145+ languages with bilingual side-by-side view šŸ“„ Export as PDF, DOCX, SRT, VTT, TXT, or CSV ✨ AI-generated summaries and Q&A extraction It's free to start — no credit card, no trial countdown. Try it and let me know what you think. Your feedback directly shapes what we build next.

What is the difference between "Standard" quality and "High" when it comes to transcribing the video? (Currently testing and didn't find any explanation.)

Nika

But I think it did a good job anyway!

@busmark_w_nikaĀ 
Thank you so much for trying Vocova, Nika!

High quality uses a more advanced model for better accuracy — perfect for tricky accents, complex vocabulary, or noisy audio. Standard is faster and works great for most cases. We'll definitely add a clearer explanation in the UI — great catch!

So happy it did a good job for you!

Superb! Does it work on the mobile? Would love to try it out.

Jimmy

@abhinavrameshĀ Yes! Vocova is fully responsive and works on mobile browsers — you can paste a

link, upload a file, and view your transcripts on your phone. Hope you enjoy it!

šŸ’” Bright idea

What if I post a link from YT and would like to follow the script on top of the video or let's say another platform where I would like to have it on top of th original content, is it possible to have that or do I always have to jump between tabs? I think this would really be useful. Good luck

Jimmy

@viktorgemsĀ Great question, Victor! Currently Vocova works as a standalone web app, so the transcript and the original video live in separate tabs. There's no overlay or side-by-side sync with the source platform yet.

That said, this is something we're actively looking into — whether through an embedded player within Vocova or a browser extension that overlays the transcript on top of the original content. Your feedback is really valuable and helps us prioritize what to build next.Thanks for the suggestion and for checking out Vocova!

This is lovely! Is there a time limit for the audio being transcribed?

Jimmy

@jacklyn_iĀ Thank you, Jacklyn! There's no strict time limit for most use cases — Vocova handles audio files up to 5GB and up to 10 hours long. So whether it's a quick meeting or a full-day conference recording, it should work just fine. Hope that helps!

The URL paste-to-transcript flow is really smart. Being able to drop a YouTube or TikTok link and get a timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript without downloading anything removes so much friction. The 120 min free tier is generous too. How's the accuracy holding up for accented speech or overlapping speakers?

Jimmy

@marc_humiĀ Appreciate the kind words, Marc! For accented speech, accuracy is quite solid — especially in high-quality mode. Beyond the base transcription, we run a multi-stage AI pipeline that refines accuracy, punctuation, and contextual coherence — so the output reads like a professionally edited transcript, not raw machine output. Overlapping speakers is still one of the harder challenges in the field, but we handle it well for most real-world scenarios like meetings and interviews. Thanks for trying it out!

Interesting, do you offer API?

Jimmy

@guidoarataĀ Not yet, but it's on our roadmap. Thanks for the interest!

Impressive breadth with 1,000+ platforms I'm curious how you handle platforms that require OAuth tokens or session cookies to access media. Are you storing those credentials on your end, or is it a bring-your-own-auth flow where the user's session stays local? Makes a big difference architecturally.

Jimmy

@avinash_matrixgardĀ No OAuth or session cookies needed from your end — just paste the link. We handle all the media extraction on our servers using our own infrastructure, so nothing from your browser is ever collected or stored. Your workflow is simply: paste a link, get a transcript.

Avinash S

@jmcraftĀ That's a clean architecture decision keeping everything server-side removes a whole class of user trust issues upfront. Quick follow-up: do you cache extracted transcripts for links that get submitted multiple times, or is each request a fresh extraction? Curious how you're thinking about the cost/freshness tradeoff at scale.

There are quite a few products in this space, but you’ve done a really great job with the design and overall UX.
