# VideoScript
# Links point at the canonical production site (videoscript.uk) on every
# deployment, staging included — ticket-127 policy: the head and machine
# files name the production domain so retrieval consolidates on one host.
# Ticket 156 (CR-052): page links carry the trailing slash — the same form the
# canonical and sitemap declare — so no reader is handed a redirecting URL.

> VideoScript turns a public YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Bilibili or
> Xiaoyuzhou link, or an uploaded audio file, into a complete, timecoded transcript — ready to read, copy,
> export (TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT) or feed into AI notes tools. One Credit covers
> one minute of media. New accounts start with 120 free Credits. One-time packs
> never expire; 30-Day Passes are one-time and never auto-renew. No subscription.

## Supported sources
