ClipNote is built for the real job behind “video to text”: get the words out of the video, clean them up, and reuse them in notes, quotes, or summaries.
Or see what Pro unlocks — summaries, quotes, exports, library.
Copyable
Plain or timestamped — your choice.
Downloadable
Export as .txt or .md when you’re ready.
Readable
Real sentences, not caption fragments.
Skimmable
60 minutes of video → 5 minutes of skim.
Readable text
ClipNote turns auto-captions into readable paragraphs while keeping every timestamp anchor intact, so the text feels like prose without losing its source of truth.
Follow-on value
Summary, quote bank, action items, content draft — all start from the same readable transcript, and all link back to the moment in the source video.

Yes. The longer the video, the more useful it becomes to have a readable transcript and a clear next step.
