We hit 3K views, 1,300 signups, and our first paying customer — 1 week after launch
Last week we launched YouTube Transcript Dev and the response has been way beyond what we expected.
The numbers after 7 days:
- 3,000 views
- 1,300 signups
- 1 paying customer
We built this because existing YouTube transcript tools only work when captions are available. That's a problem — tons of videos don't have captions, or the auto-generated ones are garbage.
So we created a tool that extracts transcripts from any video using audio-based transcription when captions aren't available. But we didn't stop there. Once you have a transcript, you can generate mindmaps, create summaries, or chat with the content to find exactly what you need.
Still early days, but validating that people actually want this feels great. Happy to answer any questions about the build or launch.
