SINGLE VIDEOPLAYLISTCHANNEL

ActaScribe detects the URL type automatically and queues the right job — one video, every video in a playlist, or every public video on a channel.

Series support

Beyond a single video.

Drop in a YouTube playlist, channel URL, or a list via API. ActaScribe batch-processes the whole thing.

Playlists

Every video in the playlist becomes its own structured transcript, indexed under one collection.

Channels

Hand us a channel URL and we batch-transcribe the whole back catalog. Use cases: research, content repurposing, building a TalkBase corpus.

API lists

Need to queue 500 URLs from a spreadsheet? POST them to the API and ActaScribe handles the throughput.
