Get a YouTube transcript you can copy, search and download
YouTube's own transcript panel is buried in a menu, awkward to copy and impossible to download. This free YouTube transcript generator fixes that: paste any link and it pulls the full transcript from the video's captions or closed captions in seconds, with no login and nothing to install. Convert YouTube to text you can read, search and copy with or without timestamps, or download it as TXT, SRT or VTT subtitle files. It works online in any browser, on long lectures and podcasts as well as short clips, in every language the video has captions for.
Faster notes from any lecture
Transcribe a YouTube video once and read it instead of scrubbing through the playback. Search the full YouTube video transcript for the line you need, jump to that timestamp, then copy the exact quote straight into your notes, essay or citation. Lectures, talks and interviews turn into text you can actually work with.
Repurpose any video into content
Turn one upload into blog posts, show notes, summaries, subtitles and social captions. Going from YouTube to transcript hands you an editable script, and a yt transcript you can pass to your team or drop into ChatGPT or any AI tool to draft the rest.
