From link to transcript in three steps

Paste the link
Copy any YouTube, Instagram Reel or TikTok URL and drop it in the box. Shorts, podcasts and long-form all work.
01We pull the words
We grab the captions or run the audio through speech recognition, then clean up the text and align timestamps.
02Copy, search, export
Read it as a tidy paragraph, jump to any timestamp, search a phrase, or export to TXT, SRT or VTT.
