YouTube video to transcript, as TXT or SRT
Paste a YouTube link or upload a video. TONTRIA transcribes it in its own language — sung parts included — and lets you download the full transcript as plain text or as SRT subtitles with timings. The same run finds the best moments and turns them into vertical clips.
Transcribing is part of processing the video: 1 credit = 1 minute of video. The free plan includes 30 credits to start, no card needed. Downloading the transcript doesn’t use credits.
From a YouTube link to a transcript in three steps
Paste the link
A YouTube link or a video from your computer: an interview, a podcast, a live show, a music video.
TONTRIA processes it
The language is detected, the audio is transcribed word by word and the best moments are cut into vertical clips.
Download the transcript
In the project, download the full transcript as TXT (just the text) or SRT (subtitles with timings).
A transcript and a week of content
One run gives you the text and the clips, so the same interview becomes captions, quotes and Shorts.
TXT
The full text, one line per sentence, ready to quote, translate or turn into a post.
SRT
Subtitles with timings for YouTube, video editors and any player that accepts captions.
Sung parts too
Songs and live verses are transcribed, not only speech.
Clips included
Vertical clips of the best moments, with karaoke captions, from the same video.
What a transcript is good for
For an artist or a label, a transcript turns a long video into text you can use: quotes for a press release, the questions and answers of an interview for a blog post, captions for YouTube, or the starting point for translating a video for another country. And because TONTRIA makes clips from the same video, you get the text and the short videos from one upload.
For captions burned into the video, see the auto subtitle generator. To translate the captions of a clip, see translate captions.
YouTube transcripts: questions
Which app turns a YouTube video into a transcript with timings?
TONTRIA Clips. Paste the YouTube link or upload the video: it transcribes it in its own language, sung parts included, and lets you download the transcript as plain text (TXT) or as SRT subtitles with timings. Processing uses 1 credit per minute of video and downloading the transcript uses none; you get 30 credits to start, one time, no card needed. The same run also finds the best moments and makes vertical clips with captions.
Is it free?
You can start free: 30 credits once, no card. Processing a video uses 1 credit per minute; downloading the transcript afterwards doesn’t use credits.
Which languages does it support?
The language of the video is detected automatically, and the transcript comes in that language. Spanish, English, Portuguese and many more.
Can I use it on any YouTube video?
Use it on videos you own or have the rights to use, such as your own channel, interviews you gave or shows you played.
Does it also make clips?
Yes. The same processing finds the best moments and turns them into vertical clips with captions for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
