Video & Audio

This guide shows how to connect a transcription API to a video player in a no-code platform to convert speech in video to text.

Who is this for?

No-code developers, product teams, educators, and content creators building video apps.

Before you start

Access to a transcription API, a video URL or media reference, and a no-code platform with HTTP request or serverless capabilities.

General Process (How it works)

  1. Determine how the video URL is exposed by the video player plugin in the no-code platform.
  2. Obtain credentials for the transcription API and set them in the platform's secure storage.
  3. Set up an automation to fire when a new video is ready to transcribe.
  4. Send the video URL and optional parameters (language, format) to the transcription API.
  5. Parse the transcript data and handle errors or partial results.
  6. Save transcripts to the data store and render them in the UI with optional captions.
  7. Set up retries, logging, and monitoring for failed transcriptions.
