A Notta alternative for YouTube videos
Notta is built for transcribing meetings and audio, but if what you actually want is to work with YouTube videos, MyShorts is the more direct fit. Paste any YouTube link and it pulls the full transcript — even when a video has no manual captions, falling back to auto-generated subtitles — then lets you export it as plain text or an SRT subtitle file. There's no app or extension to install and nothing to upload; it all runs in the browser from a single link.
Transcript, summary, notes, Q&A and Shorts
Where Notta stops at the transcript, MyShorts keeps going. The same link produces a structured summary with timestamps, clean editable notes, grounded Q&A that answers from the transcript, and face-aware 9:16 Shorts cut from the best moments. So for YouTube specifically you get the transcript and everything you'd want to do with it — read it, summarize it, take notes, ask it questions, and clip it — from one tool instead of stitching several together.
One video, everything
MyShorts does more than this.
The same YouTube link powers every one of these.
