No more forgetting anniversaries, missing medication times, or losing ideas between meetings. Small gestures become more meaningful, remembering a birthday makes you a better partner; sending a quick voice note wins time and reduces stress.

About

Transcript for YouTube Video

Transcript for YouTube Video turns a recorded lecture or voice, an audio or video file or a YouTube video into a time-coded transcript on your iPhone: mark key moments as you record, read along with the player, get an AI summary, translate into 50+ languages, search, copy and export as TXT, SRT, VTT, PDF or Word. A YouTube transcript loads in seconds when captions exist. A recording from your phone goes through AI speech recognition and is usually ready within minutes. No typing, no laptop. HOW IT WORKS 1. Paste a YouTube link, or tap Share in the YouTube app and pick this app from the list. 2. For your own voice, tap Record. For files, pick one in Files or Photos, or share it from Voice Memos. 3. Read the result, then search, summarize, translate or export it.
