Frequently Asked Questions❓

Q: How accurate are the transcripts?

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.

Q: How do you get the transcripts from YouTube?

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.

Q: What export formats do you support?

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.

Q: How many credits do I need for a typical video?

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.

Q: How does the monthly plan work?

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.

Q: Do I need a subscription?

No, you can use our pay-as-you-go option with no subscription required. Simply purchase credits as needed at $0.01 per credit.

Q: What languages do you support?

We support all languages. You can choose the language of the video you want to process.

Q: Is there a limit to how many videos I can process?

None at all. Process as many videos as you have credits for, including entire playlists and channels.

Q: Can I download YouTube subtitles for free?

Yes! Our free YouTube transcript generator allows you to extract and download subtitles from any YouTube video without signup. You get transcripts in multiple formats including SRT, VTT, and plain text.

Q: How long does it take to generate a transcript?

Transcript generation is instant since we extract existing YouTube captions. Most videos are processed in under 30 seconds, regardless of video length.
