    VidiRelay

    freemium • From Free tier available
    Updated Aug 2026

    VidiRelay is a transcription workspace built around the reality that most useful video is scattered across public platforms rather than sitting in a tidy folder. You paste a public link — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook — or upload your own media, and it returns an editable, timestamped transcript you can review, correct, and export. What separates it from a one-off transcription button is the workspace layer around the output: batch imports of up to 50 URLs at a time, folders and favourites for organising material, subtitle exports for publishing, and summaries and translations generated straight from the transcript. That combination makes it practical for the repetitive part of content work — pulling quotes from an interview, subtitling a clip for another platform, or turning a long recording into short-form copy — without moving files between three separate tools. There is also a Chrome extension, so a video you are already watching can be sent to the workspace without breaking your flow. The honest caveats are the usual ones for automated transcription: accuracy depends on audio quality, accents, and background noise, so review is still part of the process, and translation output is a strong first draft rather than a publishable final for sensitive material. VidiRelay fits best for creators, marketers, and researchers who process video in volume and want transcripts as a working surface, not just a download.
