Shopper questions

What is transcript.im?

transcript.im is a video and audio transcription tool that turns public video links from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and X, or uploaded recordings, into timestamped transcripts. You can then summarize, translate, rewrite and export them.

How does transcript.im handle videos without captions?

When a video has no caption track, transcript.im uses AI to transcribe the audio and puts a timestamp on every line. When usable captions already exist, it uses them instead.

What can I do with a transcript from transcript.im?

You can read and search it in the browser, copy lines or the whole transcript, download it as TXT for reading or SRT and VTT for video editing, translate it into 12 languages, or hand it to ChatGPT, Claude or NotebookLM as a brief for summaries and rewrites.

How much does transcript.im cost?

The Free plan costs $0 and includes 3 transcripts per day, 50 AI credits and 30 transcription minutes per month. Lite costs $10, Pro $20 and Max $50 per month, or 20% less when billed yearly. One credit covers a transcript, 5 minutes of audio transcription or download, or one AI action.

Can AI agents and apps use transcript.im?

Yes. The REST API, the MCP server and agent skills give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other code transcripts of public videos, batch jobs and YouTube search. API access is part of Pro and Max plans.
