Original Summary

Hey HN, back last October I shared Scriber Pro, a Mac app that transcribes audio and video in a privacy first, low friction form factor- and thanks to your help it got to #6 in the Mac App Store&#x27;s under Utilities that week. Today it still remains the lowest friction way to transcribe speech out of video or audio files. Now, Version 2.0 adds support for video on a web page via the pages m3u8 stream (the HLS format behind web video), and in a single step, transcribes it straight on your Mac.<p>Before this, the only way one could transcribe web video would be to pull the video web page was a browser extension, then you still need to transcribe it. Scriber Pro is the first standalone app that can perfrom the entire process seemlessly and easily, all it needs is the page link and it works it magic and hands you back the transcript of speech detected in the video. Getting this tool to work( outside a browser extension) took quite a bit of work, - and it paid off… it just works.<p>So if a recorded lecture on your school&#x27;s course site, a webinar, news clip, Scriber can now transcribe it from (almost) anywhere<p>The first 10 HN readers who click the button on the linked page get it free: the button shows you an App Store promo code along with a link to redeem it.<p>It also pulls YouTube&#x27;s own captions now and can take a batch of files at once, it runs on macOS 15.6+ on Apple Silicon. Everything you transcribe goes into a forever backed up icloud library, with full search, tag, retreival and organization features anyone would expecet It&#x27;s the lowest friction, one stop shop for all your transcription needs- Video - Web Fetch - Youtube. No subscriptions, just a one time $3.99 on the Mac App Store, Happy to answer questions!
