How do I transcribe a YouTube video for free? +

Paste the link to a YouTube video and click Process. In 1-3 minutes you get the text. No sign-up — 3 videos a day for free.

How accurate is the transcription? +

95-99% for clear speech. We use Whisper by OpenAI — the most accurate model in the world. Support for 98+ languages, including Ukrainian.

How long does processing take? +

It depends on the length: a 5-minute video takes ~30 seconds, an hour-long one 2-3 minutes. Registered users get a priority queue.

What if the audio quality is poor? +

Whisper by OpenAI handles even noisy audio. With background music or heavy noise, accuracy may drop to 85-90%, but the result is still better than doing it by hand.

Does it work with Ukrainian surzhyk / mixed speech? +

Yes, the model detects the language automatically and recognizes even a Ukrainian/Russian mix. Timestamps are preserved.

Are my files stored? +

Files are automatically deleted after 24 hours. We do not review or share your data with third parties. Transcriptions are private — no one but you can see them.

What if I'm not happy with the result? +

Why not a subscription? +

We know subscriptions are annoying. That's why VideoScribe is a one-time payment. Pay once, use it. No auto-charges, no card linking.

How is it different from free YouTube subtitles? +

YouTube generates subtitles automatically, but without speaker separation, export to SRT/PDF, translation, or text search. VideoScribe gives you all of that.
