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, no login, nothing to install. It is more than a YouTube transcript extractor or a YouTube transcript downloader: grab the transcript YouTube hides, run a search, copy it with or without timestamps, or download it as TXT, SRT or VTT subtitle files. Free YouTube transcription that works online in any browser.
What if the video has no captions?
Most popular videos already have captions, so your YouTube video transcript comes back in seconds. Videos that are only music or have no spoken words will not produce a useful transcript.
Faster notes, subtitles and content from any video
Read the transcript instead of scrubbing the playback. Search the full YouTube video transcript for the line you need, jump to that timestamp, then copy the exact quote into your notes, essay or citation. Turn one upload into blog posts, show notes, summaries, subtitles and social captions, or pass the text to ChatGPT to draft the rest.
