How accurate is Greek transcription with Whisper?

Whisper performs well on Greek for clean audio. Background music and overlapping speech reduce accuracy in any language — Captionly's inline editor lets you fix slips by clicking on the wrong word.

Does Captionly transcribe Greek in its native script?

Yes — the exported SRT is UTF-8 and loads cleanly in any modern editor or platform.

Is my Greek video private?

Yes — Captionly runs Whisper in your browser. Your video is never uploaded. The transcription and the burn-in render both happen on your device.

Can I edit the Greek transcript before exporting?

Yes. Click any word to seek to that moment in the video, type a correction inline, the word-level timing stays locked. Edits are reflected in the SRT and the burned-in MP4 automatically.

Are accents and special Greek characters preserved in the SRT?

Yes. All exports are UTF-8 so Greek characters, diacritics and full-width punctuation (where applicable) survive the export and load correctly in any modern editor or platform.
