02Frequently asked

How do I transcribe a Twitch stream?

Open the VOD or clip on Twitch, copy its link, paste it above, and press Transcribe. Scribetape turns the audio into timestamped text.

Can you transcribe a long VOD — a full multi-hour stream?

Yes. Long recordings are transcribed in sections and stitched back together, so the timestamps run continuously from start to finish instead of restarting. A 24-hour stream comes back as one searchable document. How long a single video can be depends on your plan.

How long does a full stream take to transcribe?

A 72-minute VOD is usually done in a few minutes. Whole streams take longer: a 5-hour VOD took about 12 minutes and an 8-hour one about 35. Most of that is the download — Twitch hands a long VOD over in thousands of small pieces, at its own speed, so the time varies. While it runs, the page shows an estimate and how long it has been going, and you can close the tab: the link keeps working, and we email you when it's ready.

What if the stream is longer than my plan allows?

You still get a transcript — of the opening, up to your plan's per-episode limit, clearly marked as a preview on the page and in the exported file. Nothing is refused, and you're only charged for the part that was transcribed. A longer plan transcribes the whole thing.

Can I transcribe a live stream?

No — only recorded VODs and clips. Live streams have to finish and be saved as a VOD first.

Do I have to download the VOD first?

No. Paste the Twitch link and we fetch the audio ourselves — no download, no browser extension, no OBS setup. That matters for long streams, where downloading the video is the slowest part.

Do the timestamps stay accurate across a whole stream?

Yes. Every line keeps the timecode it was said at, measured from the start of the VOD, so you can jump back to the moment in Twitch. On long recordings that are transcribed in sections, the sections are re-based before they're joined, so the timeline never restarts.

Can I turn a stream into subtitles?

Yes — export SRT or WebVTT and use it as a subtitle track for a YouTube re-upload or an edit, or export TXT if you just want the text.

Is it free?

Yes, you get free transcripts to start. Sign in for more; paid plans add higher monthly limits and longer videos.
