Frequently Asked Questions - FLAC Audio Transcription

What is FLAC and why does it improve transcription accuracy?

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) stores audio without any compression artifacts or quality loss. The full audio signal gives the speech recognition AI more accurate phoneme data to work with - resulting in higher accuracy compared to MP3 or AAC on the same recording.

Is speaker identification available for FLAC files?

Yes. Speaker diarization detects and labels each unique speaker (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc.). Works well for 2–8 speakers in a single recording.

Are timecodes included in the transcript?

Yes. Timestamps are automatically inserted at the paragraph level. Word-level timestamps are available for subtitle generation and precise navigation.

Can I export FLAC transcripts as SRT subtitles?

Yes. After transcription, you can download SRT and VTT subtitle files simultaneously with the text transcript - all from the same upload.

Is my FLAC file kept private?

Yes. All files are encrypted in transit and at rest, processed in an isolated environment, and permanently deleted after you download the transcript.
