# Verbafy

Turn media into text in seconds.

Paste a public YouTube URL or a Spotify episode link. You can also upload a private file. Verbafy returns AI-inferred speaker names when identifiable, clickable timestamps, and optional Auto translate. Then export TXT, Markdown, JSON, SRT, VTT, or a ZIP bundle.

## What can Verbafy transcribe?

- Public YouTube videos. See [YouTube to text](/youtube-to-text).
- Spotify episode links (`open.spotify.com/episode/…`). See [Spotify to text](/spotify-to-text).
- Private audio or video uploads, including meeting recordings. See [meeting to text](/meeting-to-text).

Spotify show browsing, Apple Podcasts, and RSS URLs are not supported yet.

## How do I transcribe a YouTube video or Spotify episode?

Paste a public YouTube URL, a Spotify episode link, or upload a private file. Verbafy returns AI-inferred speaker names when identifiable, clean paragraphs, and clickable timestamps. Dialect detection follows regional speech. Mixed-language speech stays in each spoken language. On YouTube, compare the original captions with best-in-class verifiable ASR. Auto translate is optional. Then search the segments, ask cited text chat, or export TXT, Markdown, JSON, SRT, VTT, or a ZIP bundle.

## What do I get after transcription?

You get a speaker-labeled transcript you can search, cite, and export:

- Embedded player
- Clickable timestamps
- Dialect detection
- One-click copy
- Auto translate
- Mixed-language speech
- 99+ languages
- Summary

People also use this for research notes. Research is a use case, not a condition for using the product.

Free plan: no credit card, 60 transcribed minutes each week.

Transcripts land at about 96.8% Benchmark Word Accuracy on an independent STT test (3.2% WER). That is evidence, not a guarantee for every file. Details: [How to evaluate transcription accuracy claims](/blog/how-to-evaluate-transcription-accuracy-claims). Private uploads support MP3, AAC, M4A, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, OGG, Opus, MP4, MOV, and MKV, up to 10 GB.
