How to transcribe a YouTube video for free
Copy the YouTube link, paste it in the box above, and click Transcribe. Scriber pulls the text and hands it back ready to copy or download. You don't need an account or an extension, and there's no file to upload. Your first few videos are free so you can see if it fits what you need.
Free, even for videos without captions
A lot of free transcript tools only work when the video already has captions. If it doesn't, they fail. Scriber doesn't need them: when there are no captions, it transcribes the audio itself. So the free tier works on any video with speech, not only on captioned ones.
When you outgrow the free tier
The free tier is there to prove it works for you. If you start transcribing a lot, you can buy credits that never expire, or go unlimited monthly. You can cancel anytime.
