Transcribe Multiple Videos at Once

If you research content on social media, you rarely need just one transcript. You need the ten Reels that went viral in your niche this month, every TikTok a competitor posted about a launch, or a week of clips from one creator. Doing that one link at a time is slow and easy to lose track of.

Batch transcription lets you paste up to 10 video links in one go. Platforms can be mixed freely, so three Instagram Reels, four TikToks, two YouTube Shorts, and an X post can sit in the same batch. Scrivi processes each link on its own and shows the status of every item as it moves from pending to processing to done.

When the batch finishes, all transcripts are saved in your dashboard, ready to read, search, summarize, or group.

Instagram Reels are one of the most common reasons people look for batch transcription, because Reels are short and you usually need a lot of them. Here is the workflow that saves the most time.

A batch is only the first step. The value comes from what you do with ten transcripts side by side. Every transcript gets the same structured AI summary: an overview, key points, chapters, and topics. Reading ten summaries takes a few minutes, compared to rewatching ten videos with the sound on.

Collections keep the results together, for example one collection per competitor, campaign, or trend. From a collection you can select 2 to 5 transcripts and generate a research report: one document that pulls out the common themes, where the videos agree, and where they differ. Creators use it to find the hook patterns that work in their niche; researchers use it to compare statements on one topic across many accounts.

Ask AI goes one step further. Ask a question about a transcript, such as which product claims a creator made or how they opened the video, and get the answer without reading the full text.

Transcribing ten videos one by one is not just slower, it breaks your focus. You paste a link, wait, copy the text somewhere, go back for the next link, and after the sixth video you lose track of which ones you already have. A batch removes that loop: one paste, one wait, and every result lands in the same place in your dashboard.

It also makes comparison possible. When all transcripts arrive together, you read them as a set. Patterns that are invisible in a single Reel become obvious across ten: the same opening line, the same three claims, the same call to action. That is the real reason creators and researchers ask for batch transcription in the first place.

Short-form videos benefit most. A Reel or TikTok takes seconds to read but a minute to find, open, and copy. With a batch you spend that minute once instead of ten times, and the summaries tell you which clips deserve a closer look.

Anyone who works with many videos at once.

Batch transcription is part of the paid plans. If you only need it occasionally, the $2.99 Day Pass gives you 24 hours of full access, which is enough for a focused research day. Pro costs $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year and includes batch, collections, research reports, Ask AI, and AI audio transcription for videos without captions, up to 3 hours per video. Lifetime is $79.99 once.

On the free plan you can still transcribe many videos, just one at a time: 20 captioned videos a day across all platforms, plus 3 AI summaries a day. Free is captions-only, which matters for short-form video. Many Reels and TikToks have no caption track, and those need a paid plan anyway.

A batch holds up to 10 links. For bigger projects, run several batches and collect the results in one collection. Every link must point to a single public video: profile pages, playlists, hashtag pages, and private accounts cannot be read. Scrivi does not accept file uploads, so videos have to be online on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, or Facebook.
