Who is it for?
Frequently asked questions
Why not just paste a YouTube link?
YouTube's terms of service forbid downloading videos through another service. For your own videos, downloading from YouTube Studio is simple and allowed.
Is it free?
Yes: 3 files per day (up to 30 minutes each) are free, no credit card needed. Pro removes these limits.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free account, no credit card needed. On this page your email is enough to start: you receive a confirmation link and the transcription starts automatically. To sign in again later, set a password with the “Reset your password?” link on the sign-in page.
Do my files stay private?
Yes. Your files are only visible to you, stored in Europe (Germany), and you can delete them at any time. Transcription is processed, only for the time needed, by our providers in the United States.
