Use cases
- Find a specific quote. Skip the scrubber. Search the transcript directly.
- Verify a claim. When someone references a podcast quote, paste the URL, search the key phrase, jump to the exact moment.
- Pull research notes. Copy timestamped segments into your notes — every quote auto-links to the source.
- Caption gaps. If a video has captions disabled or the speaker uses uncommon terms, this tool surfaces the cleaned transcript when YouTube's own UI buries it.
FAQ
Which videos work?
Any public YouTube video with captions (auto-generated or manual). Region-locked or unlisted videos may fail. Newly uploaded videos can take a few minutes before captions are available.
What about long videos?
Up to ~3 hours works fine. Beyond that the response can truncate to the first 1,500 segments. Inside the paid product, we chunk + embed full transcripts so the AI article generator can reason across multi-hour source material.
Rate limits?
10 transcripts per hour per IP. Signup is free and unblocks heavier use.
