Frequently Asked Questions
Can I transcribe a complete audiobook?
You can transcribe audiobook files that you own or are authorized to process. Uploading separate chapter files usually makes editing and organization easier.
Will the transcript match the original manuscript exactly?
Not necessarily. AI transcription may mishear names, punctuation, or performance choices, and the narration may differ from the manuscript. Compare important passages with both sources.
Can I publish text generated from someone else's audiobook?
A transcript does not grant publication rights. Only reproduce or distribute audiobook content when you have the necessary copyright permission or license.
Can timestamps help with audiobook production review?
Yes. Timestamps make it easier to locate a passage in the recording while checking narration, edits, and manuscript differences.
