Your video never leaves your computer

Bling is a desktop app. Your video, edits and exports stay on your disk.

Transcription is the one step you can send out. Only audio goes to Deepgram, which does not keep or train on it.

What is a text-based video editor?

The transcript is the edit: delete words and Bling cuts them from the video.

What if the transcript gets a word wrong?

Fix it with Correct. Only the text and captions change.

Can I finish in Premiere, Resolve or CapCut?

Yes. Every plan exports MP4, MP3 and SRT, plus a CapCut kit, Premiere XML and Resolve EDL.

Does my video get uploaded?

No. Only the audio goes to Deepgram, and only with cloud transcription on.

Which languages does it transcribe?

English only. Silence cutting works in any language.

How much does the text-based editor cost?

Editing is free. To export, pick Pro at $15 a month or $120 a year, both with a 3-day free trial (card required), or Lifetime at $99 once (see pricing).
