About Scribetape
Scribetape converts audio from Twitch streams, podcasts, YouTube videos, TikTok, Vimeo, RSS feeds or uploaded audio files into searchable, timestamped transcripts. The service identifies speakers and preserves the original wording, allowing users to read, search, copy or export the text. Transcripts can be downloaded in TXT, SRT or VTT formats for further use. Multi-hour recordings are processed in sections and reassembled with continuous timestamps. The tool supports a range of audio formats including MP3, WAV, M4A and FLAC. Platform-exclusive episodes on Spotify or Apple Podcasts are transcribed only if they are available via public RSS feeds. Transcription speed varies by length, with longer episodes typically completing within a few minutes.

Frequently asked questions about Scribetape
How do I get a transcript of a Twitch VOD?
Paste the Twitch VOD or clip link (e.g., twitch.tv/videos/…) into Scribetape and press Transcribe. The tool fetches the audio, transcribes it with timestamps, and returns a searchable text version. Multi-hour VODs are processed in sections and reassembled with continuous timestamps.
How do I get a transcript of a Spotify podcast?
Paste the Spotify episode link into Scribetape. The service matches the link to the show’s public RSS feed and transcribes the audio into a clean, timestamped text transcript. Platform-exclusive episodes cannot be transcribed if they lack a public RSS feed.
Can I transcribe a YouTube video?
Yes. Paste any YouTube link into Scribetape, and it downloads the audio before transcribing it into a timestamped text transcript. The tool also supports Apple Podcasts links and direct audio file uploads in formats like MP3, WAV, M4A, and FLAC.
What export formats are supported?
Scribetape supports exporting transcripts in plain text (TXT), SubRip subtitles (SRT), and WebVTT (VTT) formats. Each format can be downloaded with a single click after transcription is complete.
Is Scribetape free to use?
Scribetape offers free transcripts to start without requiring a credit card. Signing in with Google unlocks additional features, and paid plans provide higher monthly limits and support for longer episodes. Free transcripts are limited to 5 hours per month.
How does the pricing model work?
Scribetape uses a credit system where 1 credit equals 1 hour of audio. Credits reset monthly, and partial hours are rounded up. Speaker detection costs 2 credits per hour, while AI summaries and translations consume credits based on the episode length and language.
