Processing Issues

Problems with upload and transcription

Job Stuck on "Processing"

Processing typically takes 1-3 minutes but can take longer for large files.

If stuck for more than 10 minutes:

  1. Refresh the page - check if status updated
  2. Clear browser cache and reload
  3. Contact support if still processing

The job continues processing server-side even if you close the page.


Upload Fails

1. Check file format:

  • Video: MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM
  • Audio: MP3, AAC, WAV, M4A, WEBM

2. Check file duration:

  • Maximum 5 minutes

3. Try these solutions:

  • Check your internet connection
  • Try a different browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox)
  • Disable browser extensions
  • Use incognito/private mode

"Could Not Determine Media Duration" Error

This means the file metadata couldn't be read.

Solutions:

  1. Try re-encoding the file in a different format (e.g. MP4 H.264 or HEVC H.265)
  2. Use Audio file instead of Video (e.g. MP3 or AAC)
  3. Ensure file isn't corrupted (play it locally)

Transcription Accuracy Poor

Improve accuracy by:

  1. Selecting the correct language when uploading
  2. Using clear audio with minimal background noise
  3. Ensuring consistent volume levels
  4. Using supported language variants (e.g., English US vs UK)
