Can I transcribe a YouTube Short from a link?

Yes. Paste the Shorts URL and StrikeScribe imports and transcribes it. For full-length YouTube videos, upload the file instead.

Can I bulk import Shorts?

Yes. Paste one link per line — each Short becomes its own transcript, up to your plan's upload limit.

What languages are supported?

StrikeScribe supports 100+ languages, including Arabic and English with extra tuning for dialects and code-switching.

Is StrikeScribe free?

You can try transcript AI free with no signup via guest upload on the homepage. A free account tier includes transcription and AI insights with limits. Paid plans add higher file sizes, minutes, and team features — upgrade when you need more.

How is my media handled?

StrikeScribe runs transcription on private GPU infrastructure — your media does not go to OpenAI servers. Use workspace roles to control who can access saved files.

Why transcribe Shorts

Reading is faster than rewatching. Creators transcribe Shorts to study how high-performing videos open, adapt scripts across platforms, and add accurate captions.
