How it works
How to transcribe an X video
Step 1Start with a link
On X, tap the share icon under the post and choose Copy link; a twitter.com link works as well as x.com.
Step 2It is read and written out
Paste it here. The video's speech is transcribed and summarised, and a post without a video is read as written.
Step 3Use the text
Copy it, download it as Markdown, send the transcript's own link, or save it to your brain.
X video · 2:05ExampleSummary
A founder answers a question about pricing a first product: start higher than feels comfortable, and let the first ten customers tell you what to cut.
Transcript
The question was, how did you pick the first price. Honestly, we guessed, and we guessed too low.
Nobody who said no gave price as the reason. That told us there was room.
Raise it, then ask the next ten what they would remove. That is your cheaper plan.
