FAQ

About youtube transcript

Limits, privacy and what to expect.

Is it really free without an account?
Yes. You can use youtube transcript as a guest. Signing in raises the upload size and the maximum length for AI tools.
How big can my files be?
There is nothing to upload — we read the public video from its link. Very long videos may take a little longer.
What happens to my files?
They are stored privately, used only to produce your result, and deleted automatically after 60 minutes — including the result. Only the browser that started the job can open it.
How accurate is it?
Clear audio with one speaker at a time gives the best results. Background noise, music, heavy accents or people talking over each other can lead to mistakes, so check names, numbers and quotes before you rely on them.
Does it work with every YouTube video?
It works with public videos. Private, members-only and age-restricted videos cannot be read.
