What if the video has no captions?

You get a reply explaining the problem and asking for a captioned link or manual transcript.

Can I choose the transcript language?

Yes. Choose a default language during setup, or name one in your email. If your choice is unavailable, the reply names the fallback language or asks you to choose.

Will the transcript fix unclear captions?
