Why long videos fail elsewhere
Many transcript tools copy YouTube captions, which are often missing on long streams, or stop after a fixed number of minutes. Here the whole video, up to 10 hours, is transcribed from its audio and joined back together with timestamps that match the video.
Real progress on long files
Long videos are split into parts and transcribed in parallel. The page shows how many parts are finished. You can close it: the link to your transcript is emailed to the address you pay with.
Finished live streams
Recordings of live streams work once the stream has ended and YouTube has finished processing it. A stream that is still live, or a premiere that has not started, cannot be transcribed yet.
One flat price for long videos
Anything longer than 60 minutes, up to 10 hours, costs $3. A 90-minute lecture, a 3-hour podcast and a 9-hour live stream all cost the same, and you see the measured length before you pay.
Finding your way around a long transcript
The timestamped TXT marks where each paragraph starts, so you can search for a word, note its time and jump to that point in the video. On your own video, those times also make it quick to write YouTube chapters.
Videos longer than 10 hours
Download the video, split it into parts of up to 10 hours with a video editor or a free tool such as ffmpeg, and upload each part as its own order. Timestamps in each part start from zero.
Questions
What is the longest video you accept?
10 hours. For longer videos, download the file, split it and upload the parts.
How long does a 3-hour video take?
Usually minutes rather than hours, because the parts are transcribed in parallel. The exact time depends on the video and the language; the page shows real progress.
Does a 4-hour video cost more than a 2-hour one?
No. Everything over 60 minutes and up to 10 hours is $3.
How do I transcribe a 3-hour YouTube video?
Paste the video link on this page and press Check link. We read the exact length (a 3-hour video costs $3), you pay once, and the whole video is transcribed from its audio in parallel parts. You download the complete transcript as plain text, text with timestamps and SRT. Nothing is cut off and you do not have to split the video yourself.
How much does a transcript cost?
$1 per file up to 60 minutes, or $3 per file up to 10 hours, paid once. The price comes from the real length of your file and is shown before you pay. No subscription, no credits, no minimums.
