Share to Transcript LOL — transcribe any URL in one tap
We just shipped one of those small features that quietly changes how you use the app: Transcript LOL now appears in your iOS or Android share sheet.
Found a YouTube video, Instagram reel, TikTok, podcast episode, or any other link worth transcribing? You no longer need to copy the URL, switch apps, and paste it in.
Just tap Share → Transcript LOL, and we'll kick off the transcription instantly. The job runs in the background and shows up in your library when it's ready — ready to search, export, or drop into your workflow.
Where it works
YouTube — videos, shorts, live replays
Instagram — reels and video posts
TikTok, X, Vimeo, SoundCloud and every other source we already support
Any direct audio or video URL
If we can transcribe it in the web app, you can now send it straight from wherever you found it.
