Unlock Video Transcription Generation with n8n Workflows
Manual transcription takes 2-3 hours per video for accuracy, and translating captions to multiple languages costs hundreds per video. By the time you've captioned one video in three languages, you're already behind schedule on the next two projects. N8n automation connects AI transcription services (Whisper, Deepgram, AssemblyAI) to generate 95%+ accurate captions, formats them as platform-ready SRTs, translates to 50+ languages simultaneously, and synchronizes timestamps perfectly. Transform captioning from expensive, time-consuming bottleneck to automated process that delivers multilingual subtitles within minutes of upload.
Is Manual Transcription Slowing Your Content Engine?
Spending hours on captions and translations is an expensive bottleneck that limits your content's reach and accessibility.
Time-Consuming Manual Work
Manually transcribing a one-hour video can take 4-6 hours, creating a massive bottleneck in your content workflow.
Inaccurate AI Transcripts
Standard AI transcription services often struggle with technical jargon, accents, and multiple speakers, requiring hours of manual correction.
Tedious SRT Formatting
Manually creating and synchronizing timestamps for SRT or VTT caption files is a tedious, frame-by-frame process that is prone to error.
Expensive Translation Services
Hiring human translators for multiple languages is prohibitively expensive and slow, limiting your global reach.
A Multilingual Transcriptionist for Every Video
We build a powerful n8n system that automates the entire transcription, translation, and captioning process from end to end.
AI-Powered Transcription at Speed
When a new video is uploaded, our n8n workflow automatically sends it to a state-of-the-art AI transcription service. The agent generates a highly accurate, timestamped transcript in minutes, handling different accents and technical terms with ease.
Automated Multilingual Translation
Go global instantly. The workflow takes the base transcript and uses powerful translation AI to generate accurate subtitles in as many languages as you need, from Spanish and French to Japanese and Mandarin.
Automatic SRT/VTT File Generation
Forget manual formatting. The n8n agent takes the timestamped transcripts and automatically formats them into perfectly structured SRT or VTT files, ready to be uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, or any other video platform.
The ROI of Automated Transcription
This is about making your content more accessible, searchable, and globally relevant, while saving significant time and money.
95% Faster Turnaround
Generate accurate, formatted, and translated captions in minutes, not days. Cut your end-to-end captioning time by over 95%.
Reach a Global Audience
Automatically translate your video captions into 50+ languages simultaneously, making your content accessible worldwide at a fraction of the cost.
Reduce Costs by over 90%
Drastically cut the high costs associated with manual transcription and professional translation services by leveraging efficient AI.

Make every video you produce fully accessible and searchable without creating an operational bottleneck for your team.
Our Transcription Automation Blueprint
A proven, step-by-step process for building an automated captioning and translation pipeline.
Step 1: Transcription Workflow Audit
We analyze your current transcription and translation process, identifying your primary languages, required formats (SRT, VTT), and quality standards.
Step 2: AI Model & Prompt Strategy
We select the best transcription model (e.g., Whisper, Deepgram) for your content type and design prompts to handle specific jargon or accents for higher accuracy.
Step 3: Custom n8n Transcription Agent Build
Our developers build the n8n workflow that automates the entire process: triggering on new video uploads, calling the transcription API, handling translation, and formatting the output files.
Step 4: Accuracy & Timestamp Validation
We rigorously test the workflow to ensure timestamps are perfectly synced and that the transcription and translation accuracy meet your quality benchmarks.
Step 5: Deployment & Integration
We launch your automated transcription engine and integrate it with your existing video hosting platform or content management system.
Step 6: Continuous Improvement & Dictionary Management
We provide ongoing support to add custom dictionaries for industry-specific terms and refine the AI models to continuously improve accuracy.
