# Chapters with timestamps, one click.

Upload a podcast, lecture or meeting and get 3-10 titled chapters with clickable timecodes, ready to paste into a YouTube description. Chapters are free with every transcription, in 99 languages; transcription itself is billed by the second from $0.83 per hour, and the first 15 minutes are free.

Free with every transcription. Generated once, saved with the transcript forever.

## An hour of audio shouldn't need a treasure map

Long recordings without structure get skimmed once and never opened again.

### Hand-writing YouTube chapters

Scrubbing the timeline, noting timestamps, typing titles - for every single upload.

**Now:** 3–10 titled chapters in seconds, copied in the exact "00:00 Title" format YouTube expects.

### Listeners can't find the good part

Nobody re-listens an unstructured hour to find the one segment a colleague mentioned.

**Now:** Chapters act as a table of contents - click a title, land on the exact paragraph.

### A subscription for a one-off need

Chapter tools come bundled inside $15+/month editing suites you barely use.

**Now:** Chapters are free - included with the transcription you already paid for, and saved with it forever.

## From raw episode to table of contents

Chapter titles are written in the language of the recording and anchored to real transcript timestamps.

## Frequently asked questions

**How are chapters generated?**

Speecho transcribes the recording with timestamps, then AI reads the full transcript and proposes 3–10 chapters with concise titles at natural topic changes. They appear as clickable timecodes on top of the transcript.

**Can I use them as YouTube chapters?**

Yes. One click copies the whole list as "00:00 Title" lines - exactly the format a YouTube description expects for chapter markers.

**How much does it cost?**

Nothing - chapters are free. You pay only for the transcription itself; generating chapters on a finished transcript costs no extra credits, and they stay saved with it forever.

**What languages are supported?**

Speech recognition covers 99 languages, and chapter titles are written in the language of the recording.

**Which recordings can get chapters?**

Any transcript with timestamps: uploaded audio and video, meeting recordings and saved live-subtitle sessions. Scanned documents have no timeline, so chapters do not apply there.

**How accurate are the timestamps?**

Each chapter is anchored to a real paragraph timestamp from the transcript - clicking a chapter always lands on the exact spot, no drift.
