Video testimonial software that finds praise inside public video reviews
Some of your best testimonials are spoken, not written. Creators review your product on YouTube, customers walk through their setup on camera and partners mention you in webinars they publish. TestimonialScraper is video testimonial software that works with videos that already exist: it reads the public transcript, finds the sentences that praise you and turns them into quotes that link to the exact moment in the original video.
From a public video to a quote with a timestamp
- Finds public YouTube videos that mention your brand, or takes the links you add
- Reads public transcripts and captions, never private or unlisted videos
- Pulls out the sentences that praise you, in the speaker's exact words
- Links every quote to the original video at the right second
- Scores and tags video quotes like any other source
We do not download, cut or host anyone's video. Visitors who want to hear the quote press play on the original, which also gives the creator the view.
How video quotes are found
Add your videos
Paste video links or let TestimonialScraper search for public videos that name your brand. You confirm which videos are about you.
Read the transcript
We read the public transcript or captions of each video. Videos without public captions are listed so you can skip them or add your own transcript if you own the video.
Find the praise
Sentences that recommend you, describe a result or compare you favorably are marked as candidate quotes with their start time.
Approve and publish
You approve the quotes you like. Each one shows the speaker or channel name as published, a video thumbnail and a link that opens the video at that moment.
Video quotes compared with recorded testimonials
| Recording new video testimonials | Quotes from existing public videos | |
|---|---|---|
| Effort for customers | Record, upload, sign a release | None, the video already exists |
| Effort for your team | Ask, chase, edit | Approve the quotes you like |
| Credibility | Can feel staged | Independent creators and customers |
| Where it lives | Your hosting | The original video, linked by timestamp |
| Fit for widgets | Video players | Text quotes with a play link |
If you also collect testimonials through your own forms, those answers can sit next to video quotes, as shown on the page about how to collect testimonials.
Who gets value from video quotes
Software and app companies with creator reviews on YouTube get quotes that would take weeks to transcribe by hand. Consumer brands featured in unboxing and comparison videos get short, punchy lines for product pages. Agencies add video quotes to client reports when a creator mentions a client brand. Video quotes appear in any testimonial widget style and on a testimonial wall next to written reviews, and they are part of the 12+ sources described in the social proof widget tour.
Respecting creators
Creators put real work into their videos. Linking the quote to the exact moment sends viewers to their channel, keeps the context intact and lets anyone check that the words were really said. If a creator asks you to remove a quote, hide it with one click and it leaves every widget on the next refresh.
Video testimonial questions
Do you host or edit the videos?
No. We never download, cut or host videos. Each quote links to the original public video at the moment it is spoken.
Which videos can you read?
Public YouTube videos with public transcripts or captions. Private and unlisted videos are never read.
Is the quote word for word?
Yes, as it appears in the public transcript. Automatic captions can contain errors, so you can check the moment in the video before approving the quote.
Can I use quotes from creators on my site?
Showing a short quote with the creator's name and a link to the original video is how we present it. Some brands also message the creator before featuring them prominently, which is a good habit.
Which plan includes YouTube?
YouTube is one of the 12+ sources. Growth and higher include all sources, and on Brand you can choose YouTube as one of your 4 sources.
