Scriber — YouTube transcripts, instantly
YouTube transcripts that work even without captions
Most transcript tools just copy captions, so they fail on the videos that don't have any. Scriber uses captions when they exist and transcribes the audio when they don't. Paste a link, get clean, copy-ready text in seconds. No sign-up to try.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Scriber because every YouTube transcript tool I tried broke on the exact videos I needed: the ones without captions.
Most tools, including YouTube's own transcript panel, just copy captions the creator already uploaded. Plenty of videos have none. Smaller channels, older uploads, recorded lectures, conference talks. On those you get an error or an empty box. The words are right there in the
audio, the tool just can't reach them.
Scriber checks for captions first, and when there aren't any it transcribes the audio directly. Either way you paste a link and get clean, copy-ready text, with timestamps if you want them.
The other thing I cared about was keeping it simple. Getting a transcript is almost never the real goal. It's one step on the way to something else: studying for an exam, writing a post, pulling a quote, feeding a video to ChatGPT. A tool for a step like that should get out of the way, not hand you another thing to manage. So there's no account needed to try it, no dashboard, no projects, no settings to learn. One box, paste a link, get your text.
It's built for people who'd rather read a 40 minute video than watch it. Students turning lectures into notes, researchers pulling quotes, anyone who just needs the words.
Three free transcripts to try it, then credits or unlimited if you need more.
I'd really like feedback, especially if you hit a video that fails.
There's a contact form on the site and I read everything.
