Batch Video Transcription
Paste multiple video URLs and get a transcript for each — plus one AI summary that combines them all. Works with TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram Reels.
Start Batch Transcription →What Batch Video Transcription Actually Means
Batch video transcription means processing more than one video in a single session — paste multiple URLs, get back multiple transcripts, and optionally combine them into one AI-generated summary. Most transcription tools are built for single files: upload one video, wait, download one transcript, repeat. That workflow breaks down fast when you're researching a topic across ten creator accounts, pulling quotes from a week of news clips, or building a content library from a playlist. Batch mode handles the repetition. The AI summary layer goes a step further: instead of reading ten separate transcripts, you get one structured summary that pulls the key points, recurring themes, and standout quotes across all the videos at once. That's the part that actually saves hours, not minutes.
How It Works
- 1.Paste up to 10 video URLs in one request on a paid plan — 2 per request on the free trial — TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram Reels, mixed or matched.
- 2.Each video is transcribed in parallel. Progress updates show per-video so you're not staring at a black box.
- 3.When all transcripts are ready, the AI summary runs across the full set — one output that covers everything.
Why Use This Tool?
- Process 10 videos in the time it used to take to do one — no re-pasting, no tab-switching
- Combined AI summary works across platforms: mix TikTok and YouTube URLs in the same batch
- Transcripts are individually copyable, or export the full batch as a single document
- Summary identifies themes, recurring points, and standout quotes across all videos — not just per-video recaps
- Free tier: 2 videos per batch, 1 transcription every 30 days — after that you still get a 5-second sample of any video instead of nothing. Pro ($13.50/mo): 10 videos per batch, 250 transcriptions every 30 days, plus the cross-video AI summary

Frequently Asked Questions
How many videos can I transcribe in one batch?
Free tier: up to 2 videos per request, and 1 free transcription every 30 days — plus 3 more one time when you create a free account. Once that allowance is used, batches still run: they come back as the first 5 seconds of each transcript with an upgrade prompt, rather than an error. Pro ($13.50/mo): up to 10 videos per request, 250 transcriptions every 30 days with a ceiling of 100 a day, plus the cross-video AI summary that combines all transcripts into one structured output. Every plan caps a single request at 10 videos, so no batch goes above that; the current plans and their allowances are listed on our pricing page. Re-opening a video you have already transcribed is free and never counts against your allowance.
Can I mix platforms in the same batch — like TikTok and YouTube together?
Yes. You can paste TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram Reels URLs in the same batch. Each is transcribed independently using the same speech model, and the AI summary runs across all of them regardless of source platform.
What does the combined AI summary actually produce?
The summary identifies key themes that appear across multiple videos, pulls direct quotes that best represent each theme, notes where creators agree or diverge on a topic, and produces a structured output you can use directly — for a blog post outline, a research note, or a content brief. It's not a concatenation of per-video summaries; it's a genuine cross-video synthesis.
Is this the same transcription quality as the single-video tool?
Identical. Batch mode uses the same speech model — there's no quality downgrade for processing multiple videos. The only difference is volume: you get more output per request.
What happens if one video in my batch fails?
Transcription continues for the other videos. Failed videos are flagged individually with the reason (private video, unsupported format, audio too quiet to process reliably). You get transcripts for everything that worked, and the AI summary runs on the successful ones.
Can I merge or combine video transcripts myself after downloading?
Yes — each transcript is copyable individually. For the combined summary, Pro gives you the AI-generated version automatically. If you're on free, you can copy individual transcripts and paste them into your own document.
