What you get per video

  • srt — ready-to-save SubRip file content
  • vtt — ready-to-save WebVTT file content
  • transcript — clean plain text
  • segments[{start, duration, text}] for precise timing work
  • language, languageName, isAutoGenerated, availableLanguages
  • Video metadata: title, channel, duration, views, publish date

Bulk input: playlists & whole channels

Paste a playlist URL (expands to up to ~100 videos) or a channel URL / @handle (latest 15 videos) alongside normal video URLs — everything is expanded automatically and transcribed in one run. maxVideosPerSource caps the expansion.

Use cases

  • Convert a course or series playlist into study notes in one run
  • Feed whole playlists into RAG / LLM pipelines as clean text
  • Archive transcripts of a series before videos go private

Input

Paste video URLs (or IDs), pick preferred languages (fallback is automatic), toggle timestamps/SRT/metadata. Batches run concurrently.

Pricing

Pay per result: you are charged only for videos that actually return subtitles. No subscription, no monthly fee.

Why teams use it

Subtitle files for video localization and accessibility, transcripts for LLM/RAG pipelines, caption corpora for research, and content repurposing at scale — without browser automation or API keys.
