How to transcribe ytconverter recordings
ytconverter makes the recording — Whipscribe makes it text. Three steps, and the first preview is free with no signup.
The three steps
Get the audio out. Take the file ytconverter downloaded and upload it here — or paste the original video link and skip the download entirely.
Drop it below. Upload the file right here — no signup for the instant preview. Long, multi-hour files are fine, and video uploads work too (we transcribe the audio track).
Take the text with you. Accurate, speaker-labeled text with timestamps — export TXT, SRT, VTT or DOCX, in 100+ languages, processed on Whipscribe's own private cloud.

Frequently asked
Can Whipscribe transcribe videos saved with ytconverter?
Yes — any audio or video file ytconverter produces can be uploaded directly. Take the file ytconverter downloaded and upload it here — or paste the original video link and skip the download entirely.
Do I need to convert the file first?
No. Common audio and video formats upload as-is; video's audio track is transcribed automatically.
How accurate is it?
Clear speech in major languages comes back near-publishable; noisy or heavily accented audio deserves a review pass. The instant preview shows real output before you commit.
What does it cost?
About $2 per audio hour as pay-as-you-go credits that never expire — the first preview is free with no signup.
