Features

Why this beats TED's official transcript

TED publishes official transcripts for many talks — but not all of them, not in every language, and never with the timestamps, summary, mind map, and on-page translation you actually want. BibiGPT gives you all of it from one link.

A transcript for every talk, not just the popular ones

Newer talks, TEDx uploads, and conference talks often have no official transcript. BibiGPT transcribes the audio with AI, so you always get the full text.

Timestamped, so you can jump to the exact moment

Every line carries a timestamp. Reference a specific quote, jump back to a key argument, or build clip-ready notes — TED's plain transcript can't do this.

SRT + TXT + Markdown export

SRT keeps the timestamps for subtitling. TXT is paste-ready plain text. Markdown drops straight into Obsidian / Notion for study notes.

What you get on top of the transcript

If you only need the words, that's one click. If you want to actually study the talk, BibiGPT layers translation, summary, and AI dialog on the same page.

One-click translate to 5 languages

Translate the transcript to Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, or Traditional Chinese — and download a side-by-side bilingual SRT. TED is classic ESL material, so this turns any talk into a dual-language study sheet.

AI summary and mind map

Skip the rewatch: get a structured summary plus a visual mind map of the talk's argument. Perfect for extracting quotable lines and a clean outline.

Free for daily use

Free users get 3 transcriptions per day, no signup. Plus ($19.8/mo) raises it to 50/day, Pro ($34.8/mo) is unlimited with batch up to 20 URLs.
