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.
