In plain words

Transcribee is a YouTube transcriber designed for knowledge workers who want to organize and reference video content. It automatically converts YouTube videos into text and builds a searchable knowledge base from the transcriptions. The tool helps users capture and retrieve information from videos without watching them in full, making it useful for research, documentation, and information management workflows.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.
