Transcribe a 3-hour livestream straight from the VOD, no download.
A 3-hour livestream is 180 minutes of talk, and pasting the Twitch, Kick or YouTube Live replay link brings it back as timestamped text in about 6 minutes once the VOD is fetched, with nothing to upload. The first 20 minutes are free, and a $6 pack of 500 minutes covers the rest of the stream with at least 320 minutes left.
Made for stream replays
Three hours live becomes text you can search, clip and caption.
The link is the file
Twitch and Kick VODs, YouTube videos and live replays, and Vimeo links paste straight in, so a three-hour broadcast never has to leave the platform as a download. Facebook, TikTok and Instagram live replays are the exception: download them first, then upload.
Your local recording, if you kept one
An OBS recording of three hours at a typical 6,000 kbps is around 8 GB, over the 5 GB limit for one file. Export the audio track instead, which is about 170 MB as an MP3 and uploads before any pack; the full file route is on upload page.
Talk in, game noise out
Music, sound effects and crowd noise are not transcribed; the speech is. The brief collects what you said about the build, the patch or the sponsor, and the names, numbers and dates you mentioned, all with timestamps.
Chapters for the description box
Timestamped chapters split the stream into segments, ready to paste under the YouTube upload, and SRT or VTT captions come from the same pass for the highlights you cut later. Guests on stream are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.
What happens to most VODs
Three hours of good talk, and nobody can find the moment again.
✗ Scrubbing the VOD
Finding the bit chat clipped means dragging a three-hour progress bar back and forth.

FAQ
Three-hour livestreams: common questions.
How long until a 3-hour stream is text?
About 6 minutes once the VOD has been fetched, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. You can close the tab; the transcript lands in your Library.
What does a 3-hour stream cost, and a month of them?
180 minutes on the $6 pack of 500 minutes. Streaming three hours once a week is about 720 minutes a month and fits the $12 pack of 2,000. Three streams a week is roughly 13 a month, around 2,340 minutes, and fits the $24 pack of 5,000.
Do I need a pack before pasting a long VOD?
Not for three hours. Stream recordings over 6 hours start once a pack is on the account; a three-hour VOD starts on the free minutes and the pack transcribes the rest from where the preview ended.
My Twitch VOD might expire. Should I hurry?
Platforms keep past broadcasts for a limited time, so paste the link soon after the stream. Once the transcript exists in your Library it stays there until you delete it.
Which languages work, and what about guests?
99 languages are detected automatically, and a stream that switches language is detected on its main language. Guests and co-hosts are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.
What happens to my stream audio?
It is transcribed on our own servers and never used to train a model. Exports are TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON from one pass.
