Free with no hidden requirements

The transcript workflow works immediately without creating a profile, signing in, or installing browser extensions. That makes it practical for one-time tasks and regular research workflows alike.

No login for students, researchers, and educators

People working with educational content, lecture recordings, research interviews, and documentary sources often need quick, frictionless access to transcript text. No login means no barrier.

Copy text or timestamps freely

The output is yours to use in notes, documents, presentations, study guides, or summaries. No watermarks, no export limits, no paywalled features for basic use.

Free AI summary included

When captions are loaded, you can also generate a free AI summary directly from the transcript — also without creating an account.
