Questions
Do I need an account?
No. Open the page and choose a video. If you buy a plan, you get an access code instead of an account.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The video is opened and cut in your browser. Only its sound, converted to low-quality mono audio, goes to speech recognition, and the transcript goes to an AI model that picks the moments. We store none of them.
Which videos work?
MP4 and MOV up to 3 hours on Pro and 2 hours on the free plan and the pack, the files most phones, cameras and editors export. Other formats your browser can play, such as WebM, work up to 20 minutes and 300 MB. The video needs speech: moments are found from what is said.
How many clips do I get?
Up to 10 moments from a video of 10 minutes or more, usually 5 or more; a shorter one gets up to one per minute, at most 5. The video needs to be at least 30 seconds long, with speech. Each clip is 15 to 90 seconds and usually starts and ends at a pause or the end of a sentence. You can move the start and end and download as many as you like.
Which file do I get?
A vertical 9:16 clip with captions burned in, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts: 1080x1920 on a paid plan, 720x1280 with a small watermark on the free plan. It is an MP4 in Chrome, Edge and Safari; Firefox makes a WebM file.
Which languages?
Captions use the same speech recognition as our caption tool, measured in 20 languages (see supported languages). Picking moments has been tested on English so far; other languages are untested.
How long does it take?
Reading the sound of a 1-hour MP4 took 18 seconds in our test, then speech is recognized in 10-minute pieces. Each clip downloads in about its own length, because your browser plays it once while burning in the captions. Keep the tab open while it runs.
Does it work on my phone?
Use a computer: long videos need more memory than most phones have. A short video may work in your phone's browser, but we have not measured phones yet. If you opened this page from Instagram or TikTok, open it in your browser first.
What counts as a video on a plan?
On the pack, a video counts once: when its speech is first recognized with your code, or at its first clean download if you found its moments before buying. Every clip you download from it is included, and choosing the same file again (same name, size and date) does not count again; a renamed copy counts as a new video. Pro counts the hours of video recognized in the last 30 days.
How do I cancel or get a refund?
