Frequently Asked Questions
How do I transcribe a file from Google Drive?
In Google Drive, set the audio or video file's General access to Anyone with the link. Copy that share URL, paste it above, and select Transcribe.
Can FastTranscriber open a private Google Drive file?
No. The file must use Anyone with the link access so it can be downloaded without a Google login. You can change the sharing setting back after transcription.
Can I transcribe Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides?
This importer is for actual audio or video files stored in Drive, not Docs, Sheets, or Slides. You can always switch to Upload file for media stored on your device.
