Frequently Asked Questions
Does EasyTranscriber help with ADA/Section 508 accessibility compliance?
EasyTranscriber helps you create transcripts that support ADA and Section 508 accessibility workflows by providing text alternatives for recorded lectures. You should still review your institution's specific accessibility requirements before relying on any automated process as a complete compliance solution.

For videos with existing captions (most YouTube content), transcripts match the original captions exactly. For audio uploads without captions, our AI transcription engine delivers high accuracy across a wide range of accents and speaking styles, with support for 50+ languages.
What does it cost for a department or institution?
EasyTranscriber uses a simple credit system. Each transcription costs 1 credit. You get 100 free credits when you sign up, and additional credits start at fractions of a cent per minute. For department or institutional pricing, contact us — volume discounts are available.
