How Transkripe works

You start with captions from a public YouTube video. Optional summaries, notes and key points are created from the transcript text so you can check the result against the source.

Paste a video link
  1. Paste URL or ID. Transkripe validates identifiers before requesting captions tied to them.
  2. Load captions when YouTube publishes them.Timed captions appear in the Transcript panel. Swap subtitle languages wherever additional tracks ship publicly.
  3. Generate optional AI drafts.Summary, Notes or Key Points use transcript text. Daily AI limits are shown beside Generate buttons when they apply.

Frequently asked questions

What happens first?
You paste or type a valid public YouTube link or eleven-character ID. Transkripe normalizes it and jumps to the transcript page tied to that video.
Is transcript reading free?
Yes when captions publish publicly alongside the playback. Costs only appear if you subscribe later for billed extras.
When can I use summaries or notes?
After captions display in Transkripe you can tap Summary, Notes or Key Points. Anonymous browsers inherit daily quotas. Signed-in browsers may unlock more headroom referenced on Pricing.
Does this handle every recording?
No. Captionless uploads, private embeds or region blocks halt with explanatory messaging.
Where does text processing run?
Transkripe-hosted services use transcript text after captions load. AI outputs are generated from that text, not from missing audio.
Is Transkripe part of Google?
No. Google and YouTube are trademarks of their owners. Transkripe is independent.
