Transcribe long Odysee videos download, upload, read.
A long Odysee video transcribes from the file you download and upload here, and a 4-hour video comes back in about 8 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes covers that video with 260 minutes left.
From the channel to the text
Odysee links are not read directly, so the path is a download and an upload.
Download, then upload
Download the video from your own channel, or from an upload whose owner allows downloads, and drop the file here. It is usually an MP4; check what you saved. A file of several gigabytes goes up from the upload page. If the upload refuses the video, convert it to MP3 first.
When the video is large
Video carries far more data than speech needs. At 6 Mbps, an hour of video is 6,000,000 × 3,600 ÷ 8 bits, about 2.7 GB, so a 4-hour video can pass the 5 GB file limit. Saving the audio as a 128 kbps MP3 brings 4 hours down to roughly 230 MB.
A back catalogue on one pack
Forty 2-hour videos are 4,800 minutes. That is beyond the $12 pack, so the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes is the one, at $0.29 an audio hour, with 200 minutes left over.
What each video turns into
The brief, the timestamped chapters and the names, numbers and dates said give you show notes, a description with chapter marks, or an article draft. SRT and VTT give captions you can upload with the video elsewhere. A long tutorial becomes a written guide with headings taken from its chapters.
Long videos elsewhere
A multi-hour video is the hardest kind of file to get transcribed in one piece.

FAQ
Odysee videos, the common questions.
How long does a 4-hour video take?
About 8 minutes, since processing runs at around 2 minutes per audio hour. The proof page shows a 4.94-hour file finished in 372 seconds.
What does a 4-hour video, or a whole channel, cost?
The first 20 minutes are free on your first visit. A 4-hour video uses 240 minutes of the $6 pack of 500. A back catalogue of 4,800 minutes belongs on the $24 pack of 5,000.
My video file is over 5 GB. What now?
Save the audio track as an MP3 and upload that; speech transcribes the same from audio alone. Before the first pack, files up to 2 GB upload, and a larger one starts once a pack is on the account.
The video runs longer than 10 hours. Can I still send it?
Yes, as two files. Each file can be up to 10 hours, and the second picks up where the first ends.
Which languages work?
99 languages are detected automatically. A video that switches between languages is detected on its main one, and the switches are handled.
What comes back, and is my video kept for training?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON, with the brief and a chat over the transcript. Videos you send are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. Send only videos you have the right to use.
