transcription feature not working!
Hi I uploaded a few audio files in different languages which worked fine for the cc caption transcription. Now any audio file takes ages pending transcription then won't work, even the ones it did a transcription for before. I am not sure how to resolve this issue, I have tried logging in and out, different audio files, different languages it just doesn't seem to work!
Just stopped about 3 days ago. Now it just wheels for 10 minutes or so and then gives a generic error message. Tried with various browsers, private settings, browsers updated/reinstalled, VPN on/off etc., cache cleared ... "There was an error loading the transcript." Anyone else getting this? Any solutions?

Hi there! I'd be grateful if anyone knows how to resolve this... The CC Transcription was working just great then suddenly it started transcribing only 4 minutes of an audio file. The audio files I'm trying to transcribe don't exceed the limit for transcription. Thanks Julie
I am gettingthe same problem. What is the transcription limit?
Hi Donec, thanks for replying. The audio file I was wanting to transcribe is 15 mins long. Only 4.04 minutes was transcribed. I tried another audio file, this one was perhaps 50 minutes, again only just over 4 was transcribed.
Yep! Mine is only 37 minutes long. So what is the transcription limit, I have an idea that is about 60 minutes.
Maybe I should have said that it only transcribed the first 4 minutes or so.
I am having this same issue. Any file I attempt, the transcription is only about 4 minutes.
