Common questions
Can I get the Q&A section of an earnings call?
Yes. The whole call is in the transcript. Search for the analyst's name or a topic to find a question and its answer.
Are the numbers in the transcript accurate?
Auto-captions can mishear figures. Check numbers against the company's press release or filings before you rely on them.
Can I summarize an earnings call?
Yes. Open the Summary tab for the key points, or Notes for an outline with timestamps.
Can I get transcripts for many calls at once?
Yes. The TranscriptYT API fetches transcripts for whole channels and playlists, ready for analysis.
What if the video has no captions?
The free tool reads the captions YouTube already has, creator-uploaded or auto-generated, and most videos with speech have them. For a video with no captions at all, click Transcribe the audio with AI: it's on paid plans and credit packs, at 1 credit per minute.
