Getting the script

Free on YouTube, by minutes of audio everywhere else.

Turns what's said in a video into text. On YouTube it's free and unlimited; on every other network it's Pro and charged by minutes of audio.

How to ask for it

Hover a video and press ⧉. For several at once: «☑ Select» and then «📝 Export + Scripts», which also drops it into a spreadsheet.

Where it leaves it

You choose in Settings → «Script»: to the clipboard, on screen, or both.

YouTube: free

On YouTube the script comes back with timestamps and spends no credits, on either plan.

If a video has no captions there's nothing to copy, and you're told.

Everywhere else: by the minute

Outside YouTube a speech model is needed, so there is a cost.

  • It's charged seconds ÷ 60, to two decimals: a 1 min 24 s video is 1.4 credits. Half a minute is half a credit.
  • Before it starts, it checks that your credits cover the length of the audio. If they don't, nothing is done and nothing is charged.
  • It's charged after, and only if it worked: if it fails, nothing is deducted.
  • Photos have a script too — it reads the text on the image — and those spend no credits.

What leaves your computer

The audio only. The video doesn't travel, nor the post's address, nor the account name.

Very long videos

There's a size cap. If a video goes over it, you're told before anything is charged: «This video is too long to get a script from».

Where you do get scripts

On all seven networks. On YouTube it comes from the video itself and it's free; on the other six ViralFeed pulls it from the audio, and that's Pro.
