Vlog Transcription for Captions & Content

Transcribe vlogs into captions, blog posts, and social clips with SRT/VTT exports, built for Nigerian creators posting in English or Pidgin.

Nigerian vloggers posting to YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram know captions aren't optional anymore, most viewers watch with sound off on their commute, on data they're rationing, or in class pretending to take notes. But typing captions for a 15-minute vlog by hand eats an evening you don't have, especially if you're posting three times a week. Autrans transcribes your vlog and exports straight to SRT or VTT so captions drop into your editing software without retyping a word. Word-level timestamps mean the captions actually sync to what you're saying, not just roughly close. And if you code-switch between English and Pidgin mid-sentence, which most Nigerian vlogs do, the transcript reflects that instead of flattening your voice into stiff formal English.

Frequently asked questions

Can I export captions in a format my video editor accepts?

Yes, Autrans exports to SRT and VTT, the standard caption formats accepted by most video editing software and platforms like YouTube, so you can import them directly without reformatting.

Will the captions match what I actually said, including Pidgin?

Yes, Autrans supports Nigerian Pidgin alongside Nigerian English, so if you switch between the two mid-sentence, which is common in vlogs, the transcript and resulting captions reflect that instead of rewriting you into formal English.

Can I use the transcript to find clips for TikTok or Reels?

Yes, key quotes and word-level timestamps make it easy to locate a specific quotable or funny moment in a longer vlog, so you can jump straight to that point in your video editor instead of scrubbing through the whole file.

Do I need a subscription if I only post occasionally?

No, Autrans offers pay-per-file pricing, so occasional vloggers can transcribe a single upload without committing to a recurring plan.
