Everything you need to know

After generating a transcript on TubeScript, click the "Copy" button above the transcript text. The entire transcript will be copied to your clipboard, ready to paste into any document or text editor.

Yes. After generating a transcript, click the "Download" button and choose your preferred format. TubeScript supports TXT (plain text) and SRT (subtitle) file downloads. Pro users get access to additional export formats.

Yes. TubeScript uses AI-powered audio transcription, so it works on every YouTube video regardless of whether captions exist. The AI listens directly to the video's audio track and generates text from speech.

TubeScript's AI transcription typically exceeds 95% accuracy for clear audio. The system handles background noise, multiple speakers, accents, and technical terminology. Results include proper punctuation and paragraph breaks.

TubeScript works with any language that has captions available on the video. For AI transcription, it supports all major languages. The system defaults to English when multiple language options are available.

Yes. TubeScript does not require any personal information or account creation. We do not store user data, track browsing activity, or sell information to third parties. Transcripts are cached briefly to improve speed but are not linked to any user.

Most transcripts are generated in 30 to 90 seconds, depending on video length. The transcript streams in real-time, so you can start reading before the full transcription is complete. Very long videos (over 2 hours) may take up to 3 minutes.

Yes. The Team plan ($29/month) includes REST API access with up to 100 requests per day. The API returns JSON responses with the full transcript, timestamped segments, video metadata, and optional AI summaries. See our API documentation for code examples.

Captions (or subtitles) are text overlaid on video for viewing purposes. A transcript is a standalone text document of everything said in the video. TubeScript generates transcripts — formatted, downloadable text documents with timestamps that you can use independently of the video.

Yes. Every TubeScript transcript includes clickable timestamps that link to the exact moment in the YouTube video. Timestamps are included in both the online viewer and downloaded files.

You can cancel anytime through the Stripe customer portal — no hoops to jump through. After cancellation, you keep access until the end of your current billing period. We do not use sneaky retention flows or make it difficult to leave.

Free users can transcribe videos up to 2 hours long. Pro users can transcribe videos up to 4 hours. The Team plan supports the same 4-hour limit per video. For most YouTube content, these limits cover nearly all videos.
