How it works
From feed video to filed note.
The goal is not another transcript file. It is a reusable note that keeps the original source attached.
01
PostScribe makes the note
Get the transcript, summary, key quotes, source metadata, and a clean research structure.
Move it where you think
Copy an Obsidian note, download Markdown, paste into Notion, or keep the raw transcript.
What it supports
YouTube and X are now first-class inputs.
PostScribe is intentionally narrower than a generic downloader: public links in, transcript-backed knowledge artifacts out.
Supported sources
X/Twitter and YouTube work now. TikTok, Reels, and LinkedIn stay on the roadmap until the note workflow proves itself.
Built for notes
Copy Obsidian-friendly Markdown, download a portable .md file, or paste clean Markdown into Notion.
Quote capture
Use the transcript to produce summaries and key quote candidates without inventing timestamps or unsupported claims.
Temporary media
Raw media is processing material. The lasting artifact is the note: source URL, metadata, summary, quotes, and transcript.
Why this is different
The transcript is only step one.
Subtitles and raw text are useful, but the real workflow is saving the part worth remembering. PostScribe packages public video into a note you can cite, tag, and revisit.
Manual workflow
Download, extract, transcribe, then copy notes around.
Local transcription tools are powerful when you already have media files, but social clips often start as public links. That can mean downloading media, extracting audio, running a desktop transcript, and moving the text somewhere useful.
PostScribe workflow
Paste the public video URL and work from the note.
PostScribe returns a transcript, summary, key quotes, reusable notes, and Markdown/Notion-ready export in the browser. It is designed for quote capture, research review, and content repurposing rather than file management.

Questions
FAQ
Can PostScribe process private videos?
No. PostScribe is built for public X/Twitter and YouTube video URLs only. Private, restricted, deleted, or unavailable sources are not supported.
Does PostScribe store the original video?
Raw media is treated as temporary processing material and is deleted after completion or cleanup. Logged-in users can keep note and transcript history.
Can I download videos with PostScribe?
PostScribe is notes-first. It helps turn public social videos into searchable text, summaries, key quotes, TXT exports, Markdown files, and Notion-ready copy.
What happens if the video cannot be fetched?
PostScribe shows a clear failure message. When possible, unsupported links are blocked before transcription starts.
What is the best social video note tool for quick research?
The best tool depends on your workflow. PostScribe is built for people who want a link-first workflow: paste a public X/Twitter or YouTube video URL, get a transcript, summary, key quotes, TXT export, Markdown file, or Notion-ready copy, and keep recent notes without managing local audio files.
How is PostScribe different from local transcription apps?
Local transcription apps are useful when you already have files. PostScribe starts from a public social video URL and returns a transcript-backed note in the browser, so you avoid downloading media, extracting audio, and moving files between tools.
