Site updates
What has changed on TubeToTranscript and why it matters to you. We list changes that affect how the tools work, what they cost, or what you can rely on, newest first.
New guides on missing transcripts, caption accuracy, cleaning and file formats
Four new guides cover why a video may have no transcript, how automatic and creator captions differ, how to clean timestamps and sound labels from a transcript, and which export format to choose. The playlist guide gained sections on free and Pro limits and a practical workflow.
Free daily limit is 10 transcripts for everyone; new request pack size
The free allowance is now 10 transcripts a day whether or not you have an account, counted by account, device and network together. The one-time request pack is 250 requests for $0.99, with no subscription and no expiry. Packs bought before this change keep their 350 requests.
Sources and corrections policy, and clearer limits
We published an editorial policy that explains where transcripts come from, how examples are labelled and how to report an error. Pages across the site now state more plainly that transcripts depend on available captions and that usage limits apply.
Fixes: tablet layout and channel search messages
The header and footer no longer run off the screen on tablet-width windows. The channel transcript search now says clearly when it needs an API key instead of showing "0 found" after a failed request.
Daily limits now apply to batch and playlist tools
The free batch, playlist and social-video tools share the same daily allowance as the single-video box, so the limit is the same however you use the site. Paid plans and API keys are not affected.
More API endpoints and a JSON guide
The transcript API gained endpoints for video information, metadata, search, channel listings and playlist pages, and a guide with cURL, Python and Node.js examples.
AI translation became part of Pro; the one-time pass became a request pack
Machine translation of transcripts moved to the Pro plan because it carries real per-request cost. Switching between the caption languages YouTube already provides stays free. The one-time pass was changed into a pack of 350 requests that never expires.
Paid plans and a tip jar
Pro plans and the developer API went on sale, and a pay-what-you-want "Buy Us a Coffee" option was added for people who want to support the free tools.
