TranscriptClip — link-to-subtitle subscription box

Turn TikTok, IG, and YouTube links into clean caption files, pay per use

Problem

Creators and researchers constantly need transcripts of short videos, podcasts, and interviews for repurposing or note-taking, but platform exports are clunky and formats vary. Someone already built a paste-a-link-get-TXT/SRT/VTT tool, confirming this is a frequent, real pain point.

Solution

A minimal web app: paste a video link, auto-fetch or transcribe the audio, and output editable, timestamped TXT/SRT/VTT. Recognize links from multiple platforms, clean punctuation and paragraphing, do light speaker separation, and support batch processing.

Users

Content creators, podcasters, researchers, and note-takers who repurpose video

MVP

Paste YouTube/TikTok/IG links; auto-transcribe with timestamps; export TXT/SRT/VTT; basic editing and renaming; free trial of three clips without signup

Revenue

Pay-per-minute or per-clip transcription credits instead of a subscription; offer batch packs and a team tier

Why now

Short video and podcast content is exploding, ASR APIs are cheap and mature, and a small frontend plus a third-party transcription API lets one dev ship an MVP in days while incumbents are enterprise-priced and heavyweight
