What does ScribeCue do?
ScribeCue is a free web tool that turns a YouTube video into a readable, searchable transcript. Paste any public YouTube video, Short or youtu.be link that has captions, and it reads the video’s public captions — creator-written or auto-generated, labelled as such — and shows every line with a timestamp next to a player that follows along. Click any line and the player jumps there; the line being spoken is highlighted. You can search inside the transcript, switch timestamps off, and download the text as plain text, SRT or VTT subtitles, or a Word document with the title and link at the top. It also offers a one-tap AI summary: a short TL;DR, key points and clickable chapters you can paste back into a YouTube description. If a video has no captions, you can upload your own audio or video and ScribeCue transcribes the sound itself, with speaker labels you can rename. Free use needs no account. Uploaded files are stored privately, deleted when the transcript is ready, and never used to train AI models. ScribeCue does not download or store the YouTube video and is not affiliated with YouTube or Google.
