Use cases

Capture subtitle buyers without sending them straight into the full reference

Developers searching for subtitle extraction usually need confirmation that the API handles formats, language, polling, pricing, and account setup before they read the full docs.

Add captions to downloader, editor, education, or media library products.

Generate transcript files for search, summaries, review queues, and accessibility workflows.

Keep subtitle extraction inside the same API key, pricing, docs, and polling flow as downloads.

Offer language-specific subtitle requests without building extraction infrastructure.
