Our mission

Make every video readable, in every language.

Billions of hours of valuable content are locked inside videos every year — lectures, podcasts, news, tutorials, interviews. Most of them are only available in one language and impossible to skim. We built LiteTranscript to change that.

With one paste of a URL, anyone can transform a video into a timestamped transcript, translate it into 30+ languages, and export it as plain text or subtitle files. No accounts, no fees, no friction.

What we believe

Principles that guide us

Speed over everything

A transcript should arrive in seconds, not minutes. We optimise for the moment between paste and read.

Built for the world

English-first tools shut out 80% of the planet. We support 30+ output languages from day one — including RTL.

Privacy by default

No accounts. No tracking pixels you don’t already see in ads. Audio is processed and discarded — only the transcript is kept.

Free, forever

The web is better when great tools are free. We fund LiteTranscript with non-intrusive display ads, never paywalls.
