Video Editor Builds Free Transcription Tool Treelo Using Claude Code
Treelo: A Video Transcription Tool Built with Claude Code
A video editor has built Treelo, a free web-based transcription tool designed to simplify subtitle creation workflows. The tool was developed through an iterative conversation process with Claude Code, where the developer described problems in plain English and Claude implemented solutions.
Key Features
- Input formats: Accepts audio or video files (MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV) up to 200MB
- Transcription: Auto-transcribes content and breaks it into editable timestamp blocks
- Caption presets: Includes MrBeast, Hormozi, Clean, Viral, Minimal, and Mumbai styles
- Custom fonts: Supports .ttf/.otf file upload
- SFX track: Allows per-timestamp sound effect placement
- Export formats: SRT, VTT, ASS (DaVinci-ready), and WAV
Usage Details
The tool is available at treelo-nine.vercel.app with no account required. The free tier includes 5 transcriptions per day with a maximum file length of 60 minutes per file.
Development Process
The developer worked with Claude Code by describing broken features or missing pieces in plain English. Claude would implement solutions, which the developer would then test before describing the next problem. This back-and-forth conversation approach (without formal specifications) produced the waveform editor, export logic, and preset system.
The tool was created to solve the developer's own workflow problem of switching between four different tools just to get clean subtitle files.
