How it works

Get a video transcript in three steps.

  1. 1

    Paste a link

    A YouTube, TikTok or podcast link, or a file from your computer.

  2. 2

    Scribiz reads the video

    Good captions are used as they are. With none, it listens to the audio.

  3. 3

    Copy or download

    Read it with timestamps, copy the text, or download subtitles.

In every result

Transcript, on-screen text, summary and chapters.

  • Works without captions

    Listens when captions are missing. Poor captions are skipped.

  • Reads on-screen text

    Reads slides, code and screen text. Each note has a timestamp.

  • Speaker labels

    Tells voices apart in calls. Best with two speakers.

  • Summary and chapters

    A short summary and a chapter list. Each one links to a time.

Formats

Export SRT, VTT, TXT, Markdown or JSON.

Subtitles for your video editor, plain text for your notes, Markdown for an AI chat and JSON for your code.

100:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,524Okay, let's start with a question I get every year.200:00:03,524 --> 00:00:07,400Why are there two high tides a day, and not one?

Modes

Transcribe from captions, audio or the screen.

Auto picks the cheapest way that works. Listen transcribes the audio, Watch reads the screen, and Both does the two together.

Minutes per minute of video

0:07The usual answer is that the Moon pulls the ocean toward it.

0:15So here is the key idea. Gravity gets weaker with distance, so the Moon pulls harder on the near side of Earth than on the far side.

MCP server

Give Claude, Cursor or Codex the video.

One MCP server. Your agent reads the transcript, searches it, and answers with links to the exact second.

Gravity weakens with distance, so the Moon pulls the near ocean harder than the far one. It is explained at 0:15 and the slide is at 0:00.

Mac app

Transcript app for Mac.

A file is never uploaded whole. Only its audio, or a small low-resolution copy for Watch, leaves your Mac.

The Scribiz Mac app: a sidebar with Home, Queue and History, and a drop zone on a painted sky that says Drop videos, audio or folders.

Paste the link and press Get transcript. Scribiz uses the captions when they are good and listens to the audio when they are not. Then copy the text or download SRT, VTT, TXT, Markdown or JSON.

You can try it without an account: 30 caption lookups and 10 Listen or Watch minutes a day. A free account gets 30 minutes a month, and a video that already has captions uses a tenth of a minute per minute of video.

Yes. It listens to the audio and labels speakers where voices differ.

Choose Watch for scene notes and on-screen text. If nothing on screen is worth noting, it says so.

Yes. Every result has a short summary and a chapter list, and each chapter links to its time in the video.

No. Media is deleted when the job ends, and results expire after 24 hours, or 30 days with an account.

YouTube, direct media links, podcast feeds and uploads work best. TikTok, X and Vimeo are best effort on the web. Instagram links usually need a login, so upload the file.

It works without captions, labels speakers and reads the screen. It also exports SRT, VTT, TXT, Markdown and JSON.
