Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Charbel.
I build data scrapers for a living, and one I run is a video transcript scraper for developers. People kept asking me for a version they could just paste a link into, without code or an account. So I built Any Video to Text.
What it does: paste a TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook or X link and you get the transcript in a few seconds.
It reads the video's own captions when there are any.
When there aren't (most TikToks and Reels), it listens to the audio. That's the part most transcript tools skip.
Upload an MP3 / M4A / MP4 instead: your browser pulls out the audio, and the file itself is never uploaded.
Interviews and podcasts can come back split by speaker, and you can rename Speaker A to a real name.
If the video is a recipe, you also get a recipe card: ingredients with amounts and the steps.
Copy it, summarize it, or download TXT, SRT or VTT, with or without timestamps.
There's a Chrome extension that does it on the video you're watching.
Free: 5 a day, up to 30 minutes each, no sign-up. If you need longer videos, speaker labels or a whole channel at once, there are one-time credit packs (no subscription).
What I'd love to know: which platform or video type breaks it for you? Paste the link in the comments and I'll look at it today.
It's quite cool. What will be the difference between asking GPT to do that and asking Gemini if we are speaking about a YouTube video? Good luck with the launch
@thomas_wazza
Thanks Thomas! For YouTube, Gemini has the edge because it can read the video directly. GPT often can’t open the link, so it may guess from the title or refuse.
Both tend to give you a summary or a loose version of what was said, and they can cut parts of long videos. Any Video to Text gives you the word-for-word transcript with timestamps, ready to download as TXT, SRT or VTT. It also works on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X, which those chatbots usually can’t access.
You can also use both: get the transcript, then paste it into GPT or Gemini to ask questions about it.
@dcharbel thank you for the answer. I understand better. Can it directly make a summary or explain something specific to you or is it purely a transcription?
@thomas_wazza It does both now. One click gives you a summary: a short TL;DR plus the key points with timestamps.
You can also ask about something specific. Once you have the transcript on the site (soon on the chrome extension), type a question and you get a short answer based only on what’s said in the video, with timestamps that jump to that line. Follow-up questions work too, and you get 10 free questions a day.
Using the video's captions first, then falling back to audio, is a useful distinction. Showing which source produced the transcript would help someone know what to check before quoting it.

Good point, thanks Oleksii (Or AI). Every transcript now shows its source: creator’s captions, auto captions or AI speech-to-text, with a short note on what to check before quoting.
