Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms govern your use of the Video Transcriber browser extension and this website (together, the “Service”), provided by Uladzislau Karzo (“we”, “us”). By installing or using the Service, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

2. The Service

Video Transcriber shows a video’s captions as text (“Captions”), transcribes a video’s audio (“AI transcript”: the whole video in a few minutes, or live streams in real time) and video or audio files from your computer (“Files”), writes AI summaries and answers questions about a video (“Summary” and “Ask”), translates transcripts (“Translate”) and removes filler words from them (“Remove filler words”), in Google Chrome on desktop (version 138 or newer). Some features depend on Chrome capabilities and third-party services (such as Google Gemini and DeepInfra), and on the website that plays the video. The Service cannot capture audio from DRM-protected players.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under the age of digital consent in your country (up to 16 in some EU countries), use the Service only with your parent’s or guardian’s permission.

4. Accounts

The Service works with an automatically created anonymous account, and you can also sign in with Google. Keep your Google account secure; you are responsible for activity under your account.

5. Price and fair use

Video Transcriber is currently free: Captions, search, copy and export, AI transcript, Files, Summary and Ask, Translate and Remove filler words cost nothing. Fair use: to protect the service, cloud summaries and questions are limited to 200 per account per day (and per network), fast transcription (AI transcripts in fast mode) to 10 hours of audio per account per day (and per network, and for the whole service), and translation and filler-word removal to a daily amount of text. When a fast-transcription limit is reached, the AI transcript of a video runs in real time while the video plays, which has no daily limit. If we introduce paid plans, we will update these Terms before anything is charged.

6. Acceptable use

Do not:

• use the Service to break the law or infringe the rights of others;
• try to bypass usage limits or security (for example by automating accounts);
• reverse-engineer our server, overload it or resell access;
• use the Service in a way that violates the terms of the website where the video is hosted.

7. Content and copyright

Videos, captions and their transcripts belong to their rights holders. The Service helps you read and work with content you are already watching. You are responsible for how you use transcripts, summaries and exported files, including respecting copyright and platform terms. We claim no ownership of your transcripts or summaries.

8. AI output

Speech recognition and AI summaries can be incomplete or wrong, including names, numbers and timestamps. Check anything important against the video. Do not rely on the output for medical, legal, financial or other critical decisions.

9. Third-party services and sites

The Service works with websites and services we do not control (such as YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo, Google Chrome, Google Gemini and DeepInfra). Video Transcriber is not affiliated with or endorsed by them. Changes they make can affect how the Service works, and we will make reasonable efforts to adapt.

10. Changes and availability

We may update, change or discontinue features. We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free.

11. Disclaimer

Except as required by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

12. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages or lost data. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

13. Termination

You can stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the extension. We may suspend or terminate access for serious or repeated breaches of these Terms.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the country where the operator is established, without affecting mandatory consumer protections of the country where you live.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms and will change the effective date. We will announce material changes in advance. By continuing to use the Service after they take effect, you accept them.
