Claude Code Built Treelo: A Free Video Transcription Tool
A video editor has shared their experience using Claude Code to build a practical transcription tool called Treelo. The developer was switching between four different tools just to get clean SRT files and described the problem to Claude Code in plain English at each step.
What Treelo Does
Treelo is a web-based tool that handles video and audio transcription with several specific features:
- You drop a video or audio file into the tool
- It auto-transcribes in multiple languages
- Removes filler words from transcripts
- Lets you place sound effects (SFX) at exact timestamps
- Exports SRT files for Adobe Premiere
- Exports ASS files for DaVinci Resolve
Development Process
The tool was built entirely using Claude Code in one session. The developer described their workflow problem in plain English at each step, and Claude Code generated the necessary code to create exactly what was needed.
Access and Feedback
Treelo is completely free to try with no signup required. The developer is looking for feedback from other users about what breaks or what's missing from their workflow. The tool is available at treelo-nine.vercel.app.
The Reddit post also asks if anyone else has shipped real tools this way using Claude Code, opening a discussion about practical applications of AI coding assistants for building production-ready tools.
