Tool
Paste any Twitch VOD, highlight, or clip link and get an accurate, searchable transcript with AI summaries, flashcards, and more, in 30+ languages. Multi-hour streams included.
Open Twitch and copy the link to any VOD, highlight, or clip. Past broadcasts work as soon as Twitch has the recording available on the channel.
Open VidNotes on iOS, Android, the web app at app.vidnotes.app, or the Chrome extension and paste it in. VidNotes pulls the audio from the recording and gets to work.
You get the full transcript with timestamps plus an AI summary, flashcards, extracted action items, and a chat to ask questions about the stream.
Find the best moments of a 4-hour stream by searching text instead of scrubbing video. Search the transcript for the joke, the play, or the take — then jump to the timestamp.
Turn streams into YouTube highlight scripts, TikToks, blog posts, and community recaps. Export transcripts as Markdown, TXT, or PDF and feed your whole content pipeline from one session.
Make stream content available to deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers. Generate accurate text versions of your VODs so nobody in your community is locked out.
Build a searchable archive of streaming sessions for research, community management, or your own records. Every transcript gets stored and stays fully searchable.
Full playthroughs, ranked sessions, and community game nights. Find callouts, reactions, and highlight-worthy moments by searching the text.
Podcasts-on-Twitch, debates, react content, and interviews. Capture the whole conversation as quotable, searchable text.
Programming sessions, art tutorials, and coaching streams. Turn spoken explanations into notes and flashcards you can actually study from.
Production sessions, songwriting, and creative walkthroughs. Keep a text record of techniques and decisions explained on stream.
Streamers & editors
Repurpose your own VODs into highlight scripts, shorts, and community posts without rewatching hours of footage. Hand your editor a searchable transcript instead of vague timestamps.
Viewers & communities
Find the exact moment a streamer said the thing everyone is clipping. Search VOD transcripts instead of scrubbing through a 5-hour broadcast.
Learners & researchers
Study coding streams, coaching sessions, and tutorials as text. Researchers can analyze live-content patterns across sessions with a searchable archive.

Start 7-day free trialYes. VidNotes handles publicly available Twitch VODs, highlights, and clips. Copy the link, paste it into VidNotes on iOS, Android, the web app at app.vidnotes.app, or the Chrome extension, and you get a full transcript with timestamps.
No — VidNotes transcribes recorded content, not live broadcasts. Once your stream ends and the VOD is available (or you save a highlight), paste that link and VidNotes transcribes the whole session.
Yes. Long VODs are processed in chunks automatically, so a multi-hour session comes back as one continuous transcript with timestamps you can search to jump straight to a moment.
VidNotes has a free account so you can put Twitch transcription through its paces before subscribing. The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial before the $49.99/year subscription, while monthly is $9.99/month for unlimited transcriptions across Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and local video files.
Yes. Every Twitch transcription comes with the full text plus AI summaries, flashcards, action items, and a chat where you can ask questions about the stream. Export it all as PDF, TXT, or Markdown.
VidNotes runs on OpenAI's Whisper model, trained on 680,000 hours of multilingual audio. It copes with game audio in the background, fast talking, and overlapping voices better than most tools, though very loud game sound over speech can reduce accuracy on any transcription service.
