Media transcripts#

Paste a video or podcast link (YouTube, Bilibili, a podcast episode, an audio file URL), or upload a media file, and waper produces a transcript plus bilingual summary.

Fast lane vs slow lane#

Lane	Wait	Cost
Fast	Minutes	Per minute: 1 credit/min with platform subtitles, 8 credits/min for AI transcription
Slow	Queued on owned compute	Free — daily quota by plan (Free 60 / Personal 300 / Pro 600 min)

Each link is transcribed once: a video someone already processed is reused — no repeat transcription cost. If a summary doesn't exist in your language yet, one is generated at actual model cost.

What you get#

• Overview: what the piece says in one paragraph;
• Key points: bulleted, each with a timestamp link that jumps to that second;
• Chapters: thematic sections;
• Transcript: searchable, copyable by time range, exportable as Markdown/SRT. Transcripts are proofread for typos and filler without changing order or meaning.

Media in briefs#

Videos and podcasts picked into a brief get transcripts filled in behind the scenes (not charged to you), and the entry's summary is rewritten from the transcript.

Ask about transcripts#

Ask questions on the media page or in the assistant — citations carry timestamp links like [12:30]. Transcripts are readable through the assistant, MCP and the API.

Limits#

User-initiated transcriptions have a per-file cap by plan (Free 60 / Personal 180 / Pro 240 minutes). Subscription-sourced background transcriptions are uncapped. Uploads follow the same cap.
