A transcript is the most reusable thing you can pull from a video: you can search it, quote it, translate it, or turn it into subtitles. The good news is you don't need a browser extension or a download — just the video's link.
Paste a link, get the full text
Submit the YouTube URL and the entire spoken text comes back in seconds. It works even when a video has no manual captions, falling back to auto-generated subtitles, so you're not stuck when a creator didn't add their own.
Export it the way you need it
- Plain text — for quoting, searching, or pasting into notes
- SRT — a subtitle file you can reuse in your editor or re-upload
- Timestamps — to map every line back to the moment in the video
Then do something with it
A transcript is a starting point. From the same link you can generate a structured summary, clean editable notes, grounded Q&A that answers from the transcript, and face-aware 9:16 Shorts cut from the best moments — so you read it, search it, and act on it without copying text between five different tools.
Paste a YouTube link and pull your first transcript free — no extension, no card.
