Why VTS
Built for when you need it,
not when you don't
Most transcription tools are built around subscriptions. VTS is built for people who only want to transcribe when they need to.
No monthly subscription
Top up when needed and pay only for the minutes you actually use. Nothing more.
Works with links and uploads
Paste YouTube or Facebook links, or upload your own audio and video files directly.
Transcript or subtitles
Get clean text, timestamped transcripts, or SRT files ready for video captions.
Simple pricing
See the price before charging. You're charged only after the transcription finishes.
Built for occasional use
Perfect for lectures, podcasts, interviews, webinar captions, and short clips.
Free every month
300 free minutes every month, up to 20 minutes per file. Renews on the 1st.

Comparison
VTS vs locked-in subscriptions
Most tools force you onto an annual plan or limit you to per-seat seats. VTS lets you subscribe for monthly hours, pay-per-use, or both — and switching between them is one click.
| Feature | VTS | Typical locked-in tools |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Subscribe OR pay-per-use, your choice | Subscription only — usually annual |
| Best for | Creators, students, teams, agencies, and businesses | Users locked into annual commitments |
| Free use | 300 free minutes/month (up to 20 minutes per file) | Usually trial-based or limited |
| Cancellation | One-click anytime; keep Pro through period end | Penalties or wait for renewal |
| Excess usage | Falls to wallet PAYG (6¢/min) — no separate overage rate | Forced upgrade to higher tier |
| Subtitles | SRT export | Depends on the platform |
| Scaling | Upgrade to Pro or top up — your call | Upgrade plan or wait for reset |

VTS uses high-quality AI speech recognition. Accuracy is strongest on clear audio with little background noise; heavy accents, crosstalk, music, or low-quality recordings can lower it. Every finished transcript shows an estimated confidence score so you can judge quality at a glance.
Some videos are geo-restricted, age-gated, or set to private. VTS can only transcribe publicly accessible videos. Try uploading the file directly if a link doesn't work.
Anyone who needs transcripts now and then — students, researchers, content creators, journalists, and people following along with video content. VTS is made for occasional use, not daily heavy workloads.
