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.

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.

Your account is the same on the website and in the app. GREAT FOR • YouTube video transcripts and notes • Podcast transcripts and show notes • Lecture and class notes for students • Interview transcription for journalists and researchers • Sermons, webinars and recorded talks START FREE, PAY ONLY WHEN YOU NEED MORE Every file shows its first 15 minutes free.
