Has anyone been able to access the video transcription feature in Google Cloud's Video Intelligence API?

Question

1. This four-month-old press release seems to indicate that the feature is publicly available,
2. The product page mentions the feature, but labels it in an alpha state, and
3. The documentation doesn't mention the feature at all...

Anyone have any leads on how to try this out?

Answer 1

The press release you linked does not indicate that the feature is publicly available:

Today, we’re releasing video transcription in private beta...You can apply for the private beta by contacting your account manager.
