Frequently Asked Questions
How does AudioToTextAI handle the audio track inside a mkv file?
AudioToTextAI extracts the primary audio track from your mkv file server-side using ffmpeg — no need to demux locally. Multi-track mkv files transcribe the first audio stream by default. The video data itself isn't analysed (we're not a video model), so file size on disk is mostly irrelevant to processing speed; what matters is audio duration.
Will I get SRT/VTT subtitle files for my mkv video?
Yes. SRT and VTT are first-class exports — open your finished transcript and pick the format from the export menu. Both files use the same word-level timestamps captured during transcription, so they line up exactly with the mkv video when you load them in any video player or editor.
Can AudioToTextAI label different speakers in a mkv file?
Yes. Enable speaker diarization in the upload options and your mkv transcript will include Speaker A / Speaker B / Speaker C labels at every turn. Diarization is acoustic — it doesn't matter whether your mkv is a podcast, a meeting recording, or a phone call.
How long does it take to convert mkv to text?
Plan on roughly 5 minutes of processing per 60 minutes of audio in your mkv file. Adding diarization and AI summary adds a small overhead but the total stays under 1/10th real time for most files. There's no manual step on your side after upload — we email or webhook you when the transcript is ready.
Is there a file-size limit for mkv uploads?
500 MB via the browser upload. For larger mkv files, submit a URL (any HTTPS source — S3, Google Drive direct link, your CDN). The API v2 also accepts pre-signed S3 URLs to bypass our reverse-proxy entirely.
