Transcribe a long Rumble show from the file, or its YouTube twin.
A long Rumble show or stream replay is transcribed from a downloaded copy of the video or its audio, since Rumble links are not fetched directly, and a 3-hour show is text in about 6 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes covers it with 320 minutes left.
Three routes from a Rumble show
The show lives on Rumble. The transcript starts from a file, or from a copy on another platform.
Get the file first
Creators can usually get their own uploads back from their Rumble account; check the video's options for a download. If none is offered, use the local copy your streaming software kept, if recording was switched on.
If it also went out on YouTube
Many shows stream to more than one platform at once. If the same broadcast sits on YouTube, Twitch or Kick, paste that link and skip the download; stream replays over 6 hours start once a pack is on the account.
Shrink a big video before upload
A 3-hour 1080p video at 5 Mbps is about 6.75 GB (5,000,000 bits per second × 10,800 seconds ÷ 8), over the 5 GB per-file limit. The words only need the sound, and three hours of 128 kbps MP3 is about 173 MB. If the upload refuses the file, convert it to MP3 first; very large uploads continue on the upload page.
Quotes tied to the minute
Host and guests are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, each quote with its timestamp, so a written recap or a correction points to the exact moment in the replay.
Why long shows go untranscribed
Three hours of talk went out live. The written record never followed.
✗ Video only
The replay is there, but every claim in it takes scrubbing to find.
- No link import for Rumble pages
- A 6 GB video file too big to send anywhere
- Recaps written from memory after the stream
- Guests misquoted in follow-up posts
- Corrections with no timestamp to point to
- Hours of archive with no search
✓ The show as text
One file or one mirrored link, and the broadcast becomes a transcript with chapters.
- About 6 minutes for a 3-hour show
- The first 20 minutes free before paying
- Audio-only MP3 to dodge the size limit
- Every guest named in the brief and quotes
- Twenty-two weekday shows on the $24 pack
- SRT and VTT caption files for the replay

FAQ
Rumble shows, the common questions.
How long does a 3-hour Rumble show take to transcribe?
Roughly 6 minutes, at about 2 minutes per hour of audio. The published timing for a 2.48-hour file was 200 seconds, at /proof/long-files.
What does a daily show cost?
A 3-hour show is 180 minutes on the $6 pack of 500, with 320 left. A month of weekday 3-hour shows, 22 of them, is 3,960 minutes, which fits the $24 pack of 5,000 with 1,040 to spare.
Can I paste a Rumble link?
No. Rumble pages are not fetched by link; the link types are YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Kick, Google Drive and podcast or RSS feeds. Upload a download of the show, or paste one of those links if the show was mirrored there. Only transcribe shows you own or have the right to use.
How large can the file be, and when must I split it?
A file can run to 10 hours or 5 GB, and uploads before the first pack go up to 2 GB. A stream that ran past 10 hours goes in as two files, and an audio-only copy keeps most shows well under the size limits.
Does it work for shows in Spanish or Portuguese?
Yes. The spoken language is detected automatically from 99, and a show that switches language is detected on its main language with the switches handled. Music, sound effects and the noise of a live crowd are not transcribed.
What can I download, and is the Rumble recording private?
Downloads: TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. A Rumble download sent here is transcribed on our own servers and is never used for training.
