Paste a video link. Get clean, AI-ready transcript text in about 2 seconds — then drop it straight into Obsidian or Notion. Searchable, quotable, yours. No installs, no API keys.
This is a live transcript pulled by the same engine that serves your link — from vimeo.com/76979871, 124 words, English captions, no account. This exact text is what you'd paste into your notes.
Under a minute. No plugins to install, no integration to maintain.
Grab the URL of any video — a lecture, a conference talk, a tutorial, or a 12k-word live stream.
ClawGrab returns the transcript in about 2 seconds. Caption-bearing videos give you the publisher's captions verbatim; the rest fall back to speech-to-text.
Copy the text and paste it into Obsidian or Notion. Tag it, link it, search it — or export TXT, SRT or Markdown if you want a file.
You can't summarize what you can't read. Every notes workflow gets faster when it starts with the actual words.
Turn a 45-minute lecture into searchable notes in seconds. Ctrl-F for the concept, paste the exact lines, review in 10 minutes what took 45 to watch.
Interviews, press briefs, conference talks — quote verbatim. The text is the publisher's own captions, so nothing is paraphrased and nothing is invented.
Obsidian and Notion work best on clean text. One paste, one tag — and every video you ever watched becomes a searchable note instead of a bookmark.
Mine talks for chapters, quotes and repurposed posts. Export the SRT for captions, or feed the text to your AI for clips and show notes.
The honest answers.
Links from 25+ platforms work — YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo, SoundCloud, podcasts. Caption-bearing videos return the publisher's captions verbatim; other videos go through speech-to-text, which is good on clean audio but rougher on music and heavy noise. A small share of videos block transcripts entirely (music, live-only, password-gated) — we report exactly what happened instead of faking a result. No tool gets 100%.
Yes — the output is plain clean text. Copy it straight into any note or block. If your app wants a file, export TXT, SRT or Markdown. No plugin, no integration, no permission setup.
ClawGrab is free during the beta — unlimited grabs, no card, no account needed to start, AI features included (summaries, chat, quote extraction).
For caption-bearing videos you get the publisher's own captions — verbatim, no hallucination. That's the safest source for notes and quotes. Speech-to-text fallback is honest about its limits: accents, overlapping speech and music beds reduce accuracy, and we say so rather than claiming a fake 100%.
Paste one link. Get the words. Feed your notes.
