- Creators: pull the script of your own videos for captions, subtitles or repurposing.
- Cooks: save the recipe someone talked through in a Reel or TikTok.
- Accessibility: read a video when you can't play sound.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. You get 5 free transcripts a day with no account and no watermark. If you need more, credits start at $5 for 200 transcripts, with no daily limit, videos up to 2 hours and a bulk tool for lists and whole channels. No subscription.
How accurate is the transcript?
When the video has captions we use them as they are, which is the most accurate option. When it doesn't, the audio is transcribed by AI speech recognition (Whisper), which handles accents, fast talk and background music well. Names and slang can still need a quick check.
Which languages work?
Speech-to-text works in about 100 languages and detects the language for you. Captions come in whatever language the creator or platform added.
Can I get timestamps or subtitles?
Yes. Turn on Timestamps to see the time of each line, or download the transcript as an SRT or VTT subtitle file for video editors and YouTube.
Do you store my videos?
No. We never download or keep the video. We keep the text transcript of public videos for 30 days so the next person who asks for the same video gets it instantly.
