Whoscribe turns YouTube videos, podcasts, lectures and recordings into accurate, readable transcripts. Paste a YouTube link or import a file, and get the whole transcript with speaker labels and timestamps in minutes, even for a 2-hour video. YOUTUBE TRANSCRIPT FROM A LINK Copy a YouTube link, paste it into Whoscribe and get a full video transcript. It works on videos with no captions at all, because Whoscribe listens to the audio instead of copying auto-captions. Long videos are normal here: interviews, lectures, sermons, webinars and podcast episodes up to 10 hours. Whoscribe gives you text only; it does not save or download videos or audio to your device. AUDIO AND VIDEO TO TEXT Transcribe audio you already have or record a new one. Import MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4 or MOV, or use the built-in voice recorder. Whoscribe transcribes in 98+ languages and detects the spoken language automatically. SPEAKER LABELS AND TIMESTAMPS See who said what, jump to any moment, search inside the transcript and fix a line in seconds. Quotes stay exactly as they were said. AI NOTES AND SUMMARIES Ask AI Chat to summarize a video, list the key points, pull out quotes or turn a lecture into study notes. Every answer stays next to the source text. TRANSLATE AND EXPORT Translate a transcript into another language and switch back anytime. Export as TXT, PDF, DOCX, or SRT and VTT subtitles. Your account is the same on the website and in the app. GREAT FOR β€’ YouTube video transcripts and notes β€’ Podcast transcripts and show notes β€’ Lecture and class notes for students β€’ Interview transcription for journalists and researchers β€’ Sermons, webinars and recorded talks START FREE, PAY ONLY WHEN YOU NEED MORE Every file shows its first 15 minutes free.
