TranscriptFetch's answer:

Most short-form video has no caption track to download. TikTok’s auto-captions are opt-in per upload, Instagram never publishes a downloadable track, and many captions on both are burned into the video frames where no parser can read them. TranscriptFetch transcribes the audio when no caption track exists, on the same endpoint, with the same response shape. Your code never branches on which method produced the text. It also covers YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X and Facebook plus any web page as clean Markdown, so a pipeline spanning several sources is one integration rather than five.

Donkey Directories's answer

Donkey Directories helps you discover 250+ launch directories, autofill submissions with a single click using our Chrome extension, and track every listing from one dashboard. We were built by a founder who experienced the frustration of the app submission process firsthand, creating a pragmatic, no-nonsense solution for indie hackers, SaaS founders, and startup teams. Our unique value proposition includes a curated list of directories with actionable metrics, a Chrome extension that auto-scrapes and fills forms, and an all-in-one dashboard for submission tracking. We offer one-time purchases only, with a starter pack of 100 credits for €10 and a lifetime pack for €69. No subscriptions, ever.

TranscriptFetch's answer:

Three reasons. Coverage: one API key and one response shape across five video platforms and the open web, instead of stitching together a library per platform. Reliability: requests run through rotating infrastructure, so code that works locally keeps working from a server, which is where most open-source approaches break. Billing that matches reality: one credit per successful response, with failed, blocked and empty results never charged. That last point matters on short-form video, where a meaningful share of any batch is music with no speech in it. There is also an MCP server, so AI agents can fetch transcripts as a tool without a custom integration.

TranscriptFetch's answer:

Developers and technical teams building on video and web content. The common cases are RAG and retrieval pipelines that need video as text, AI agents that need to read a link mid-conversation, content teams repurposing short-form video at scale, and media monitoring and research tools. It is an API first, so the buyer is usually the person writing the integration rather than an end user. The free browser tools exist for one-off transcripts and for evaluating output quality before writing any code.

Sjors Fest, the founder of Donkey Directories, built this tool out of frustration with the app submission process. Donkey Directories offers a database of 250+ launch directories, a dashboard to track submissions, and a Chrome extension for one-click form autofill. They also offer one-time purchase credits for submissions, with no subscription model. Their unique value propositions include auto-scraping product information and filtering directories by Domain Authority, pricing, and dofollow status. They aim to help founders save time, increase launch visibility, and complete their launch distribution faster.

TranscriptFetch's answer:

It started with discovering there is no good way to get the text of a video. YouTube’s official Data API will confirm a caption track exists and then refuse to hand it over, because captions.download requires the video owner’s OAuth token. The popular open-source libraries work until you deploy them, at which point platforms start refusing datacenter IPs. And YouTube is the easy case: TikTok and Instagram publish no caption file at all. Every workaround solved one platform, worked locally, and broke in production. TranscriptFetch is the version that handles the failure cases as first-class behaviour rather than edge cases.
