What export formats are available?

You can export transcripts in three formats: CSV (spreadsheet-friendly), JSONL (JSON Lines for data analysis), and plain text (one .txt file per video, or a ZIP for batches).

Are transcripts stored permanently?

Yes! All transcripts and metadata are stored in your account and accessible anytime from your dashboard.

Can I cancel or delete a batch?

Yes. You can cancel processing batches or delete completed batches from your dashboard at any time.
