API integration

GoTranscript provides an easy-to-use captioning API that seamlessly connects with your existing platform—be it a web app, mobile app, or proprietary software. If you’re looking to automate your audio/video uploads and quickly receive transcripts without manual intervention, our API is the ideal solution.

  • Customization: Adapt your transcription workflow to match unique project or industry requirements.

2. How It Works

  1. Enable API Access
    • Sign up for a GoTranscript account (if you haven’t already) and obtain your API credentials.
    • Our developers can help with free setup assistance, ensuring your system is correctly configured.
  2. Send Audio/Video Files from Your System
    • Your platform automatically submits files to GoTranscript via the API.
    • There’s no need to log into the GoTranscript dashboard to upload content.
  3. Automatic Captions Processing
    • GoTranscript’s professional linguists handle the files behind the scenes.
