n8n-nodes-justtranscribe

An n8n community node for JustTranscribe — transcribe audio/video files and public video links into accurate, timestamped text, right inside your workflows.

• Sources: binary files from any previous node (MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG/OPUS — including WhatsApp voice notes — FLAC, MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV; up to 500 MB / 150 minutes) or public links from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Google Drive.
• Output: word-timed segments, detected language, an AI summary with key moments (and, for social videos, a hook/scenes/pacing breakdown), plus exports to SRT, VTT, TXT, CSV, Markdown, PDF and DOCX.
• Built-in waiting: Create can poll until the transcript is finished, so most workflows need no extra Wait/loop nodes.
• Spanish-first (native LATAM Spanish product) and English.

Installation

Self-hosted n8n: Settings → Community Nodes → Install → n8n-nodes-justtranscribe.

n8n Cloud: search for “JustTranscribe” in the nodes panel once the node is verified.

Credentials

1. Create a free account at justtranscribe.ai (no card during the beta).
2. Go to Profile → API keys, create a key (jt_live_…) and copy it — it is shown only once.
3. In n8n, create a JustTranscribe API credential and paste the key.

Full API reference: https://justtranscribe.ai/developers.

Operations

| Resource | Operation | What it does | | --- | --- | --- | | Transcript | Create | Transcribe a public video URL or a binary file; optionally wait until finished (default on) | | Transcript | Get | Status + timestamped segments + language + AI analysis | | Transcript | List | Newest first, with limit/offset and a status filter | | Transcript | Export | SRT, VTT, TXT, CSV, Markdown (into the item JSON) or PDF, DOCX (into a binary field); optional timestamps and cached speaker labels | | Transcript | Delete | Remove the transcript and its stored media | | Account | Get | The account behind the API key (also the credential test) |

Example: WhatsApp voice note ➜ text in a Google Sheet

1. A trigger delivers the audio file (e.g. a WhatsApp/Telegram integration or a Read Binary File node).
2. JustTranscribe → Transcript → Create with Source: Binary File and Wait Until Finished on.
3. Use {{ $json.transcript.segments }} for the timed segments, or add Transcript → Export (format txt) and use {{ $json.content }}.
4. Append to your sheet.

Example workflow file

examples/smoke-test.workflow.json — Manual trigger → Account Get → Create (YouTube URL, wait until finished) → Export SRT → Delete. Import it from the n8n editor menu, pick your credential on each JustTranscribe node, and run. This is the exact workflow that is executed against production before every release.

Limits (free beta)

3 new transcripts per hour per account, one processing at a time, 120 requests/minute per key. Files up to 150 minutes / 500 MB. Private or login-only videos can't be fetched — pass the file instead.
