What is Streamlabs Podcast Editor?
Type Studio (formerly known as TypeStudio, now part of Streamlabs as Streamlabs Podcast Editor) is a web-based text-covered video editor that automatically transcribes video and audio content into text, allowing users to edit their videos by simply editing the transcribed text rather than using a traditional timeline. The tool uses automated transcription technology to convert video files into written format with one click, making it easy for content creators to repurpose video or audio content into blogs, scripts, articles, or other text-based material. It supports over 30 languages and offers export formats including .srt, .vtt, and .txt files with optional timestamps.
Key features include automatic transcription using Revoice recognition technology, text-based video editing that works like Google Docs, automatic subtitle generation with one-click customization of fonts, sizes, and colors, detection and removal of pauses longer than a certain amount and filler words, content repurposing into TikToks, Reels, and Shorts, video translation to 28+ languages for global reach, integration with Pexels for free stock photos, searchable transcription, collaboration on all projects, and the ability to add images, shapes, text, and visual elements based on words being said. Users can edit videos up to 30 minutes long on paid plans and record directly in the browser via webcam, screencast, or audio input.
The tool is designed for content creators, podcasters, streamers, educators, marketers, and anyone who creates chatting-based content like just-chatting streams, podcasts, interviews, and course contents. It has been used by over 200,000 creators and podcasters, making it a popular choice for easy and fast editing. The browser-based platform requires uploading videos for transcription, and the AI-based technology ensures accuracy in transcription while allowing removal of unwanted content. It's particularly suitable for media with spoken words, though music videos would not be suitable since the engine cannot transcribe anything without speech.

Frequently asked questions about Streamlabs Podcast Editor
How does Type Studio's text-based video editing work?
Type Studio automatically transcribes your video content into text using Revoice recognition technology. Once the transcription is complete, you edit your video by simply editing the transcribed text like you would in Google Docs. When you delete text from the transcript, that corresponding content is removed from your video. You can also correct spelling errors in the transcript, which automatically corrects your subtitles. The edits made to the text are directly replicated into the video file.
What languages does Type Studio support for transcription?
Type Studio supports over 30 different languages for automatic transcription and can translate videos into 28+ languages. This includes English and many other common languages, making it possible to create content for a global audience and expand reach by creating content in multiple languages.
Can I export transcripts from Type Studio?
You can export transcripts in various formats including .srt, .vtt, and .txt files. The export options include optional timestamps, and you can choose to export subtitles separately by clicking the Export button and selecting Subtitles, then downloading the .SRT file. The generated file takes only a few seconds to create.
How do I add subtitles to my video in Type Studio?
Type Studio automatically generates subtitles with one click since it transcribes your content anyway. You can enable captions by clicking the captions button. You can also customize and style the subtitles by picking different fonts, sizes, and colors to optimize viewer engagement. The subtitles are automatically synchronized with your video.
Can Type Studio detect and remove pauses and filler words?
Yes, Type Studio automatically detects pauses between words (shown as little dots in the transcription) and can identify unnecessary filler words. You can quickly delete all pauses longer than a certain amount of beats by removing the dots, and the filler words can be removed by deleting them from the text just like editing a regular document.
What types of content is Type Studio best suited for?
Type Studio is ideal for podcasts, just-chatting streams, interviews, streaming content, course contents, and other chatting-based content with spoken words. It's perfect for content creators looking to enhance podcast editing, streamers wanting to edit their content, educators creating video content, and marketers repurposing video content. However, it only works with media containing spoken words.
How do I create a Type Studio account?
Visit www.typestudio.co and click on the Sign Up or Get Started button at the top right corner of the homepage. You'll be redirected to a page where you can create a new account by entering your email address and password in the respective fields, then click Create Account or Sign Up to complete the process. You may need to verify your email address by clicking a link sent to your email.
What are the video length limits on Type Studio plans?
On the Free Plan, you can edit videos up to 1 hour long with 1 hour of upload time per month. The Starter Plan also allows editing videos up to 1 hour long but provides 5 hours per month. Both Pro and Team plans let you edit videos up to 2 hours long, with Pro offering 10 hours per month and Team offering 40 hours per month.
Can I add images and visual elements to my video in Type Studio?
Yes, you can add images, shapes, text, and other visual elements to your video. Using the text editor, highlight the part where you want to add an image, click 'add element' in the context menu, and choose the image. You can drop or select an image from your PC. Type Studio also integrates with Pexels to deliver tons of free stock photos and art that you can easily add to your videos. You can change the duration an image is visible by dragging the marker to a different position in the transcript.
Is Type Studio suitable for editing music videos?
No, Type Studio is only suitable for media with spoken words because the engine cannot transcribe anything without speech. Music videos, for example, would not be suitable for Type Studio since there typically isn't enough spoken content for the transcription engine to work with effectively. The tool requires audio or video content with detectable speech for the automatic transcription to function.
