(OUR COMMITMENT TO TRANSPARENCY) TubeScribe is completely free to use, with no hidden paywalls, no tracking, and no registration required. To support our ongoing development and keep this tool free for everyone, we include a small, non-intrusive showcase inside the panel for our companion project—Web Summarizer. If you find TubeScribe helpful for reading video transcripts, we think you will love Web Summarizer. It allows you to generate instant bulleted or deep-dive summaries, translate them on the fly, and even analyze web pages to flag hidden ads, clickbait, and potential scams—helping you read less, learn more, and stay safe. Checking it out is entirely optional, but it directly helps us maintain and update TubeScribe! ★ PRIVACY & SECURITY: TubeScribe is built with your privacy in mind. It does not collect personal data, requires no account registration, and runs entirely within the context of your active YouTube tab.
