From YouTube video to blog post without retyping a word

Every YouTube video you publish is a blog post you have already said out loud. Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, get the whole video back as timestamped text in minutes, then edit it into the post, export SRT or VTT for the editor and translate it for the next market.

The video is finished. The work is not.

The edit is done and the deliverables are just beginning: captions, a description, chapters, a post, a version for viewers who speak another language. Every one of them starts by writing down what you already said on camera, and that is the part that eats the week.

  • No Captions, Fewer Views

    Feeds autoplay muted, so an uncaptioned video has to win on visuals in the first seconds or it is scrolled past. Typing captions by hand can take longer than the edit did, so it is the step that gets dropped whenever the schedule is tight.

  • Every Platform Wants Its Own Version

    One recording owes you a description and chapters, a newsletter summary, a blog post, a vertical cut with its own hook. You said all of it on camera already, and now you are typing it out again from memory, days later, in five different shapes.

  • Search Cannot Watch Your Video

    Nothing you said out loud exists as text, so search sees a title, a thumbnail and nothing else. The genuinely useful hour inside the video is invisible to the exact person who was searching for it.

  • Accessibility Gaps

    Viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing, anyone watching in a quiet office, anyone following in their second language: they all need the words on screen. Without a subtitle file they simply move on, and they never show up in your analytics as an audience you lost.

Get the words back first, then it is only editing

Paste the link or upload the file, and the whole recording comes back as timestamped text in 100 languages at 95-99% accuracy on clear audio. Take SRT or VTT into the editor, Word or PDF into the writing, and ask the assistant for the summary or the moment you half-remember. Subtitle formats, Word and PDF, translation and the assistant come with the $9.99 a month plan; the free plan gives you 120 minutes every week as TXT.

Captions for YouTube Videos, Timed to the Audio

Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, or upload the file off your drive, and the whole video comes back as timestamped segments in minutes, at 95-99% accuracy on clear audio. Export SRT or VTT and the timings line up on the timeline, because they were read off the audio rather than typed against it. The spoken language is detected automatically from 100 languages, so a video in another language needs nothing changed.

Your Style, Our Timings

The look stays yours: we hand over the subtitle file, and the font, color, position and animation are set wherever you edit. SRT and VTT import into every major editor and upload to YouTube and Vimeo as a caption track, so the same file suits a polished channel or a fast social cut. Change your caption style next season and the old videos follow, because nothing was burned into the picture.

Get Started

Repurpose YouTube Videos for Every Platform

The transcript is the raw material for everything that comes after the export: chapters and a description, the first draft of the blog post, quotes for the newsletter, the hook for the vertical cut. Ask the built-in assistant for a summary or for where you made a particular point, and it answers from that transcript. Send it out as Word when a writer is picking it up, TXT when it is going into your own notes.

Use Cases

  • YouTube Videos

    A long upload with a link and nothing written down yet. Paste it, get the full transcript with timestamps, then export VTT for the captions track and lift the chapters and description straight out of the text.

  • Short Form Clips

    Cutting a Short or a Reel out of a long video. Read the transcript instead of scrubbing the timeline, note the timestamp where the good line starts, then export subtitles for the vertical cut, which plays muted in the feed.

  • Blog Posts From Your Videos

    Turning a tutorial or an episode into a written post. Export Word, cut the tangents, add headings. The argument is already in the right order, because you made it in the right order on camera.

  • Social Posts

    Pulling the week's quotes out of one recording. The transcript is searchable text, so the line you remember saying is a find-in-page away, with its timestamp beside it if you want to clip that moment too.

  • Captions for Viewers Abroad

    Publishing for viewers who do not speak your language. Upload the SRT in the spoken language to YouTube, where viewers can turn on auto-translated captions, and translate the transcript on the paid plan when you need the text in another language.

Key Features

  • Subtitle Files, Not Burned-In Text

    You get a subtitle file, never burned-in text. The styling happens in your editor, so a look you change later does not send you back to the video.

  • Files Every Platform Accepts

    SRT and VTT go straight into YouTube and Vimeo caption fields and into every editor that reads a subtitle file. We do not post for you; the file is yours to upload.

  • Translation Into 60+ Languages

    Translate a finished transcript into any of more than 60 languages on the paid plan; subtitle files export in the spoken language. The source language is detected for you.

  • Timestamps On Every Line

    Every line carries its timestamp, so searching the text is how you find the clip. The assistant answers questions about the transcript when you remember the point but not the minute.

  • Edit Before You Export

    Fix a misheard product name in the transcript before you export the subtitles: SRT and VTT files are built from the edited text, so the correction lands in the captions.

  • Five At A Time

    The paid plan transcribes five recordings at once, so a week of uploads goes in together; the free plan runs one at a time. Fair use is 1,200 minutes of audio a day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What caption styles are available?
None here, by design: we produce the subtitle file and your editor decides how it looks. You get SRT or VTT with the timings already matched to the audio, and Premiere, Final Cut, Resolve, CapCut or the platform's own caption settings control the font, size, color and position. A file you can restyle beats captions baked into a video you would have to re-render, and it lets one transcript serve the horizontal cut and the vertical one.
Can I burn captions into the video?
No. We never touch your video file; we return a subtitle file, and burning it in is a render step in your editor. Drop the SRT or VTT onto the timeline, style it, and export the video with the captions baked in. For YouTube and Vimeo you do not need to burn anything at all, because the same file uploads as a caption track viewers can switch on.
How do I repurpose YouTube videos for Shorts and TikTok?
Find the moment in the transcript instead of scrubbing the timeline: every segment carries its own timestamp, so you pick a passage that works on its own, note where it starts, and cut the vertical clip from that point in your editor. The built-in assistant will also answer questions about the transcript, so you can ask where you covered something instead of hunting for it. There is no automatic clip detection here; searchable timestamped text is what makes it fast.
How do I turn a YouTube video into a blog post?
Paste the YouTube link, take the transcript that comes back, and edit it into the post: trim the spoken tangents, add headings, and embed the video at the top. We fetch the audio ourselves, so there is nothing to download or convert first, and Vimeo and most other video links work the same way. The free plan exports the transcript as TXT; Word export, and an AI summary to shape the intro from, come with the $9.99 a month plan.
How do I add translated subtitles to a YouTube video?
Upload the SRT or VTT file in the spoken language to YouTube Studio; YouTube can then auto-translate the captions for viewers, or you can add a translated track there by hand. Hear2Text translates the transcript into more than 60 languages on the paid plan, but translated subtitle files cannot be downloaded from the web app yet. The free plan exports the original transcript as TXT only.
Is there a team plan for agencies?
There is no separate team plan or seat billing, and you do not need one to work together: shared workspaces are free on every plan. Give each client a workspace, invite your editors as admins, editors or viewers, and everyone works from the same transcripts. Each editor has their own account, free or at $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year with unlimited minutes and five transcriptions running at once, and each account bills on its own through Stripe on the web, or the App Store and Google Play in the apps.
