Good to know
- One video at a timeThe link must point to one video, not a playlist or a channel. Shorts links work too.
- Audio onlyWe fetch the audio only, never the video, and transcribe it with speakers and timestamps.
- Public videosWe never ask for your YouTube login, so private videos can't be imported.

Questions, answered
Do I need the video's captions?
No. The transcript comes from the video's audio, so it works for videos without captions.
Can I transcribe a whole playlist?
Not from this page: paste one video at a time. In the app, you can paste several links at once.
Can I get subtitles for the video?
Yes. Download the transcript as SRT or VTT.
How do the 3 free transcriptions work?
Upload any 3 files, with no credit card. Each one is transcribed in full, with speakers and timestamps, and you see the first 30 minutes. Shorter files you get whole.
Is my audio private?
Your files are private to your account and encrypted when they're sent and stored. You can delete a file, or your whole account, at any time.
