Question 1

How accurate are the transcripts?

Accepted Answer

Transcript accuracy depends on the video author. We use techniques to access the existing manual or auto-generated transcripts directly from YouTube videos rather than generating our own.

Question 2

How do you get the transcripts from YouTube?

Accepted Answer

We don't extract audio from videos. Instead, we use specialized techniques to retrieve the existing transcripts (both manual and auto-generated) directly from YouTube videos.

Question 3

What export formats do you support?

Accepted Answer

You can export transcripts as plain text files or download all formats in a ZIP file. We support common formats like TXT, SRT, VTT, JSON, CSV, LRC, and TTML.

Question 4

How many credits do I need for a typical video?

Accepted Answer

One video requires only 1 credit for transcription. Add 5 more credits for an AI summary + mind map, or 2 credits for each social media post generated.

Question 5

How does the monthly plan work?

Accepted Answer

For $5.99/month, you get 500 credits. Unused credits roll over to the next month, so you never lose what you don't use. You can cancel anytime.
