What scribverse is

scribverse is a free, stateless utility at scribverse.xyz that fetches transcripts from supported video links (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, and Facebook) and returns the text to your browser so you can copy or download it. No account is required.

What we receive when you use the tool

When you submit a video URL, our servers receive that URL together with standard HTTP request data — your IP address and browser user-agent string. We use this to validate the request, apply per-IP abuse limits, and retrieve transcripts and metadata from video platforms (directly for YouTube where possible, or via our transcription provider for other sources), then return the result to your browser.

We do not store the URL or the transcript on our servers after the response is sent. IP addresses are held in short-lived server memory for rate limiting only; they are not written to a database and are lost when the server process restarts.

Local storage

The site stores one value in your browser's local storage: your dark or light theme preference. No cookies are set by scribverse for tracking or advertising purposes.

What we do not do

We do not sell or share your data with third parties beyond what is required to operate the service. We do not run advertising or behavioural tracking. We do not use this service to train generative AI models. We do not store user accounts or transcript histories.

Third parties

• Vercel — the site is hosted on Vercel, which collects standard infrastructure logs (IP address, request path, timestamps) subject to their privacy policy.
• YouTube / Google — for YouTube links, metadata and captions are fetched from Google's APIs and public endpoints where possible, subject to Google's privacy policy.
• Supadata — for some YouTube requests (when direct caption fetch fails) and for TikTok, Instagram, X, and Facebook links, we send the video URL to Supadata to retrieve transcripts and metadata. That processing is subject to Supadata's privacy policy. Depending on the video, Supadata may return existing platform captions or produce a transcript with automated speech recognition (see their documentation for details).
