Transcribe an 8-hour Twitch stream from its VOD link.
Your Twitch stream ran eight hours and you want every word of it as text. Paste the VOD link below and the whole broadcast comes back as one transcript in about 16 minutes. One thing to know first: a stream recording longer than 6 hours starts once a pack is on the account, and 480 minutes fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes.
Built for the full broadcast
The whole stream, not the highlights.
The VOD link is enough
Copy the address of the past broadcast from your Videos page and paste it. The audio is pulled from Twitch directly, so there is no eight-hour download sitting on your drive. If a VOD is subscriber-only or already deleted, save it with your own tools and drop the file instead.
Over 6 hours, the pack comes first
Stream recordings longer than 6 hours start once a pack is on your account. We say it up front so nobody pastes a long VOD and waits for a preview that will not run. The $6 pack holds 500 minutes, which is 8 hours and 20 minutes of stream.
Sixteen minutes for an eight-hour VOD
At about 2 minutes per hour of audio, a full working-day stream is usually back while you are still clearing the overlay. The longest single VOD we take is 10 hours, which lands in roughly 20 minutes.
Find the moment by chapter
Eight hours of talking needs a map. The stream comes back with chapters at the points the topic changed, the quotes worth keeping with their timestamps, and a chat you can ask where something was said.
The VOD problem
An eight-hour VOD is easy to stream and hard to search.
✗ Scrubbing the timeline
Without a transcript, finding one sentence in a long broadcast means dragging a seek bar and listening.
- Dragging through hours of seek bar
- Notes typed during the stream, half finished
- A download too big for most transcribers
- Caps of 1 or 2 hours on upload tools
- VODs that expire before you get to them
- No record of what you promised chat
✓ A searchable broadcast
The stream turns into a document you can search with a timestamp on every line.
- Paste the VOD address once
- All 8 hours in one transcript
- Chapters for each segment of the stream
- Quotes with the second they were said
- SRT and VTT for the highlight edit
- Text kept after the VOD is gone
Sample output
Hour seven reads as clearly as minute one.
Illustrative output, invented for this page. A long VOD comes back with the clock running from go-live to the end, so a timestamp in the transcript matches the VOD's own seek bar.

FAQ
Long Twitch streams, answered.
How long does an 8-hour Twitch VOD take?
About 16 minutes. Processing runs near 2 minutes per hour of audio, so a 4-hour stream takes around 8 and a 10-hour one around 20. The job runs on our side, so you can close the tab and come back to the finished text.
What does an 8-hour stream cost?
Eight hours is 480 minutes, which the $6 pack (500 minutes) covers with 20 minutes over. If you stream long every week, the $12 pack holds 2,000 minutes, a little over 33 hours. Credits do not expire.
Why does my long VOD need a pack before it starts?
Any Twitch broadcast recording past the 6-hour mark waits for a pack on the account before it begins. Shorter VODs follow the usual rule: the first 20 minutes are free on a first visit, and a pack transcribes the rest from where that preview ended.
My stream ran longer than 10 hours. What now?
One VOD can be up to 10 hours. Highlight or export the stream in two parts on Twitch and paste each link, and you get two transcripts.
I stream in Spanish, or switch languages. Does that work?
Yes. 99 languages are detected automatically, so a Spanish, Portuguese, German or Japanese stream needs no setting before you paste the link.
What can I export, and who sees my VOD audio?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON, with timestamps that match the VOD. The JSON export keeps every segment with its start and end time, which is handy for building a clip list. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
