Launching SpokenPages: turning YouTube into documents worth reading

Hey IH! I just set up the SpokenPages profile here, so I figured I'd introduce what I'm building and where things stand.

What it is

SpokenPages converts YouTube videos into clean, structured PDFs. Paste a link, get a document with real paragraphs, sections, and print-friendly formatting. Optionally, a Smart Overview at the top gives you key takeaways and timestamps before you dive in.

What makes it different

Most transcript tools pull YouTube's auto-generated captions and dump them as text. SpokenPages listens to the actual audio using OpenAI Whisper, then structures the output into something you'd want to read. It works even when captions don't exist, and the quality difference is immediately obvious.

The paragraph breaking is deterministic: pause duration, sentence boundaries, length constraints. No LLM involved in formatting. The result is predictable and clean every time.

Where I am right now

• Product is live at spokenpages.page

• Free credits on signup, no card required

• Credit-based pricing (no subscriptions, credits never expire)

• Solo founder, bootstrapped

• Currently in Early Access, collecting feedback on output quality

What's next

My priority is production Stripe setup and launching paid bundles. After that, speaker-based section breaks and translation as a paid add-on are on the roadmap.

What I'd love from this community

Honest feedback on the output. Try it with a lecture, a podcast, a conference talk: anything over 20 minutes where you'd normally never go back to rewatch. Tell me if the document feels like something you'd keep.

Happy to answer any questions about the stack, pricing decisions, or the build process. More updates coming as I hit milestones.
