Transcript Search
Search video and podcast transcripts by concept — not just keywords.
Add YouTube videos, interview transcripts, and podcast text to a private library. Search across all of them by meaning. Find exact passages, quotes, and timestamps — not AI-generated summaries.
What you can search
Add sources to a private library, then search across all of them at once.
YouTube videos
Add a YouTube URL. ConceptSeek fetches the transcript automatically, splits it into timestamped passages, and makes it searchable within minutes.
Interview recordings
Paste transcripts from recorded interviews as text sources. Search across what every subject said about a topic — across every conversation in your library.
Podcast episodes
If you have a podcast transcript, paste it as a text source. Search for when a guest discussed a specific idea, and find the exact quote.
Lecture recordings
Add lecture transcripts or YouTube recordings of classes. Search for how a concept was explained, trace it across multiple sessions, and return to exact moments.
Why semantic transcript search matters
Keyword search misses the idea
A speaker might say “incentive structure” instead of “motivation.” A keyword search misses it. Semantic search understands meaning — and finds both.
Results are the actual words
ConceptSeek returns verbatim passages from your transcripts. Not a paraphrase, not a summary — the original text, citable directly.
Search across all sources at once
Select one library or multiple. Every search runs across all sources simultaneously. Results are ranked by relevance regardless of which transcript they came from.
See timestamps for video sources
For YouTube sources, every result includes the exact timestamp. Jump directly to that moment in the video without scrubbing through footage.
Who uses transcript search
Journalists and researchers searching across hours of interview recordings for what sources said on a specific topic.
Students and academics building a library of lecture videos and course materials, searching for how concepts are explained and returning to exact passages for citation.
Content researchers and writers pulling quotes, references, and supporting material from long-form source content without rewatching or relistening.
Podcast listeners and analysts who want to search across episodes for what guests said about a topic — by concept, not just exact keywords.
