Transcribe many videos at once
Paste up to 50 TikTok and YouTube links (Shorts too), one per line or straight from a note, a spreadsheet or the apps' share text. The transcripts arrive one by one. Copy them all into ChatGPT with what you want to ask, in parts when they are too long for one message, or save them as TXT and SRT files and a spreadsheet. The first 5 transcripts of every run are free; after that each one costs 1 credit, and a link with no captions costs nothing. Instagram, Facebook and X links get a button that opens each one on its transcript page.

Good to know
Keep the tab open while the run works; you can use other tabs meanwhile. Stop ends the run once the links already being read are done, and you pay only for the transcripts that arrived.
A link that gets no transcript costs nothing. When one fails for another reason than a private or removed video, its row has a button to try it on its own page.
Cuescribe for Chrome
With the free extension, YouTube links in a run are read in your own browser: free, and they don't count toward the run's free transcripts or its credits. It also adds a transcript side panel on every YouTube and TikTok video.
Pro: go further
Runs of up to 50 links with no credits: Pro covers every bulk run, plus 200 credits a month for the AI tools.

Questions
How many links can I paste?
Up to 50 in one run, one per line or all in one block. Words that are not links are ignored, the same video pasted twice is read once, and links past the 50th are left out. A profile, sound, channel or playlist link is not one video, so it is left out too, and the page says why.
What does it cost?
A run of up to 5 links costs the same as pasting them one by one: nothing while this month's free server lookups last. In a bigger run the first 5 transcripts are free and each one after that costs 1 credit. The credits are set aside when the run starts and you pay only for the transcripts that arrived, so a link with no captions costs nothing. With Pro, runs use no credits. YouTube links read through the free extension cost nothing and don't count.
How do I get them all into ChatGPT?
When the run ends, pick what to ask (a summary of each video, their hooks compared, notes, or your own question), press Copy for ChatGPT and paste it into ChatGPT. A long run is split into parts of about 20,000 characters, at the end of a video where it can be: paste them in order. The first part asks ChatGPT to reply only "OK" until the last part has arrived.
What about Instagram, Facebook and X links?
They are not part of the run, because our server has no captions to read for them. Each one gets a button that opens it on its own transcript page, which tries to fetch the video and transcribe it on your device.
What if a video has no captions?
Its row says so, and it costs nothing. Its button opens the video on its transcript page, which tries to fetch the video and transcribe it on your device.
What files do I get?
One ZIP with a TXT and an SRT file for every transcript, numbered in the order you pasted them, and a spreadsheet (CSV) with the link, title, account, status, word count and transcript of every link. Each row also has its own Copy button.
Is anything stored?
The transcripts stay in this tab. TikTok and YouTube links go to our server as single links do, and their captions are cached the same way. For a run of more than 5 links, our server keeps the number of links and a scrambled code for each video it looked up (not the link) until the run is settled; after that, only the counts and the credits used.
