Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant transcribe audio and video files into text, SRT and VTT subtitles in 99 languages using Whisper.

What it does
This remote MCP server exposes an audio and video transcription tool powered by Whisper. It converts uploaded or linked audio and video into plain text and into SRT or VTT subtitle files, supporting 99 languages. It is part of a larger family of Apify data tools, but the transcription capability is the one described here.
When to use it
Use it when you need an assistant to turn recordings, videos, or audio files into written transcripts or subtitle files without running a local Whisper installation. It suits one-off transcription tasks and multilingual subtitle generation.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at An Apify account and API token are needed to run the underlying Actor, and usage is billed per result.
Before you install
The service is pay-per-result, so transcription jobs can incur charges based on audio or video minutes processed. Audio and video content is sent to a third-party cloud service for processing, which may matter for confidential recordings.
