How it works

1
Add TranscribeLab to Chrome
It takes a few seconds. No card needed for the free transcripts.
2
Open a video and press Transcribe
The TranscribeLab panel sits next to the video. When the video has captions, the text is ready in seconds.
3
Read, jump and ask
Click any line to jump to that moment in the video, read the summary, or ask a question about it.

What you get

The whole talk as text

Every line with its time stamp, so you can quote the exact moment.

A short summary

The main points in a few lines, in the language of the video or in another of the 11.

Ask about the video

Ask a question and get an answer from what was actually said, with the moments it came from.

Search everything

Every word from every recording, in one search box.

Subtitles and text files

Download the text as SRT or VTT subtitles, as plain text or as Markdown.

Good to know

Videos with captions are ready in seconds, because TranscribeLab reads the captions the video already has. It never downloads the video or its sound.
Videos without captions can be recorded from your tab while they play, like a call. That counts as one of your transcripts, and the text is ready a minute or two after you stop.
Text from captions comes as one voice: captions do not say who is speaking.
The free plan includes 3 YouTube summaries a day.

Questions

Does it download the YouTube video?

No. It reads the captions the video already has. A video without captions can be recorded from your tab while it plays; nothing is downloaded.

How fast is the text ready?

Videos with captions are ready in seconds. Calls and files are usually ready a minute or two after you stop, a little longer for very long recordings.

Which languages does it understand?

11 languages, including English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Hindi and Arabic. The language is detected for you, and the summary can be written in any of them.

Can I get subtitles from a video?

Yes. Download the text as SRT or VTT subtitles, as plain text or as Markdown.

Is it free?

Yes, for 3 YouTube videos a day, with no card. Pro gives you more videos a day and 15 hours of calls and files a month.
