Frequently Asked Questions

How does Scrivi generate YouTube transcripts?
Scrivi pulls the existing caption track from the YouTube video. Because it reads captions rather than re-transcribing audio, you get the text almost instantly -even for multi-hour videos.
Can I get a transcript for any YouTube video?
You can transcribe any public YouTube video that has captions enabled (auto-generated or manually uploaded). If a video has no captions at all, the transcript won't be available.
Is the YouTube transcript free?
Yes. Free users can transcribe up to 3 videos per day and generate 3 AI summaries. The Pro plan removes all limits and unlocks features like Ask AI and batch transcription.
Can I download the YouTube transcript as a file?
Absolutely. Scrivi lets you copy the transcript to your clipboard or export it as a formatted PDF. Pro users can also export the AI-generated summary as a separate PDF.
