01How it works

  1. 1
    Paste the link

    A past broadcast on Twitch or Kick, or a YouTube video or livestream replay. We fetch the audio ourselves, so there is no file to download or size to stay under.

  2. 2
    We work through it in sections

    A long recording is transcribed in sections at the same time and joined back together. You can close the tab; the link keeps working.

  3. 3
    Export the whole thing

    One transcript with timestamps from the first second to the last, as TXT, DOCX, SRT or VTT, or a PDF from the print dialog.

02Frequently asked

How long can a recording be?

Up to 3 hours on Essential, 6 hours on Growth and 24 hours on Pro, per recording. A free account takes 72 minutes.

What does a long stream cost?

One credit per started hour. A 6-hour stream is 6 credits, and Growth takes it at $9.99 a month for 400 credits. A 10-hour stream is 10 credits and needs Pro, $19.99 a month for 1500 credits.

Can I get one SRT file for the whole stream?

Yes, one SRT or VTT for the whole recording. The sections are joined with their offsets, so the times run from the first second to the last without restarting, and YouTube Studio takes the file as it is.

Do I need to download the video first?

No. Paste the link and we fetch the audio from the platform, so there is no MP4 to download and no upload limit to stay under. The recording has to be public: subscriber-only VODs and private videos can't be fetched.

How long does it take?

About 25–65 minutes for a 10-hour stream, most of it the download from the platform. The page shows an estimate while it runs, and the link keeps working if you close the tab.

What if a stream is longer than my plan allows?

It isn't refused. You get the transcript from the start up to your plan's limit, clearly marked as a preview, and you can continue with a plan that takes the full length.

Is it free to try?

Yes. Without an account you get the first 30 minutes of any recording, and a free account takes recordings up to 72 minutes, so you can check the result before paying for a long one.

Does it label speakers on long recordings?

On recordings up to 3 hours. Telling voices apart gets unreliable on longer audio, so past that, leave Identify speakers off to get the full transcript.

Is there a daily limit?

Yes. One account can transcribe 25 hours in any 24 hours, so a 24-hour recording fits. If you run into it, the message says when there's room again.
