How it works

  1. 1

    Copy the post link

    On X (formerly Twitter), open the video post, tap Share, and copy the link, or copy the URL from the browser address bar. Public posts work without a download.

  2. 2

    Paste it into LiteScribe

    Paste the link into the upload screen. LiteScribe extracts the audio from the video and transcribes it automatically.

  3. 3

    Get an accurate transcript

    You receive a timestamped transcript plus an AI summary and topic tags, so you can quote exactly what was said and capture the key points.

  4. 4

    Caption and repurpose

    Export an SRT to caption the clip, or copy the text to reuse on other platforms and ask AI to turn the video into a thread, summary, or quote card.

When the recording should stay on your machine

Some recordings are not worth uploading anywhere, whatever the tool promises. For a saved file, the LiteScribe desktop app offers on-device transcription with on-device AI notes, running the speech model and the AI summary locally so the recording never leaves your computer. The web and mobile apps transcribe in the cloud, so this is a desktop-only path. See the desktop app's Local Mode for what runs where.
