Can I convert video to text?

Does Vocova identify different speakers?

Yes. Vocova automatically detects and labels each speaker in the recording so you can see who said what. This works for meetings, interviews, podcasts, and any multi-speaker audio without any manual setup. Speaker identification is available on the Pro plan.

Can I generate subtitles from audio or video?

Yes. Export your transcript as SRT or VTT and use it as subtitles in any video editor or platform. Vocova preserves precise timestamps for each segment, so subtitles stay synchronized with the original audio. Subtitle export formats (SRT, VTT) are available on the Pro plan.

Is my transcription data private and secure?

Yes. Your files are encrypted during upload and storage. You can delete your audio files and transcripts at any time, and we never share your data with third parties.

Does Vocova generate summaries?

Yes. After transcription, Vocova's AI automatically generates a concise summary with key points from your audio or video. This feature is available on both Free and Pro plans and gives you an instant overview without reading the full transcript — ideal for meetings, interviews, and lectures.

Can I export bilingual transcripts?

Yes. When you translate a transcript, Vocova lets you export a bilingual side-by-side version with the original text and the translation together.
