Our verdict on Scribiz
Scribiz turns online and uploaded videos into a timestamped transcript, the text shown on screen, a short summary and chapters. It is made by Ilias Ism's Superleuk LLC in Sanford, North Carolina. Paste a link from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Vimeo or X, or upload a file in the web tool; a Chrome extension sends a video with one click.
Its strength is reading both what is said and what is shown. Scribiz uses a video's captions when they exist and listens when they do not, reads slides and screen text in Watch mode, labels speakers, and can combine the audio and visual passes. Results export as SRT, VTT, TXT, Markdown, Context or JSON. For developers, a REST API, a command-line workflow and an MCP server bring the same results into Claude, Cursor and Codex.
Media is deleted when the job ends, and results are kept for 24 hours, or 30 days when signed in.
Scribiz can be tried without an account for up to 10 minutes a day on videos up to 15 minutes. A free account covers 30 minutes a month on videos up to two hours, and Pro costs $10 a month, or 30% less billed yearly, for 600 minutes and videos up to six hours.
Choose Scribiz for transcripts, screen text, summaries and chapters from mixed video sources, in the browser or through its API.
From the maker
Written by Scribiz · approved by our editors 7 Oct 2026. It does not change our score or ranking.
Scribiz returns the context of a video: the transcript, what was on screen, a summary and chapters. Paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or podcast link, or upload a file, and get it back as SRT, VTT, TXT, Markdown or JSON.
It works when a video has no captions. Scribiz reads the audio, and in Watch mode it also reads the picture, so slides, code and text on screen end up in the result too. Every line carries a timestamp and speaker labels, so you can search the transcript and jump to the exact moment.
It is also built for AI agents. The hosted MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Codex read a video by link, search it and answer questions with timestamps, instead of working from a pasted transcript. A command-line tool and a Mac app are there for batches and folders.
Who it is for: researchers, students, creators, marketers and developers who work with video every week. You can try it with no account, within a daily allowance.
