# TranscriptDock

> Transcripts from YouTube, TikTok and your own audio or video, through one REST API or straight from an AI agent over MCP.

One kind of credit. A caption transcript (the video's own subtitles) costs 1 credit. AI transcription of the audio (mode auto when there are no captions, mode transcribe, uploads, direct links) costs 2 credits per started minute and needs a paid plan. Every account starts with 50 free credits. Reading and exporting transcripts is free.
