Overview
What you can collect
Video and audio hold a lot of useful words. But you cannot search or analyze them easily. Our tools turn them into text and data.
For YouTube, you can get transcripts, comments and search results. Give a video link or a search word. The tool returns clean text with times, or a table of comments.
Another tool turns audio and video files into text. You can also transcribe podcast files.
For podcasts, we cover Apple Podcasts. You get shows, RSS feeds and public contacts.
Coming soon: video to text from TikTok, Reels and X links, a social video downloader and SoundCloud.
The text is ready for AI tools, search or notes. All tools run on Apify. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel. You pay for use on Apify.
