Get the transcript of any YouTube video
A transcript is the raw material behind everything else — search it, quote it, translate it, or turn it into subtitles. MyShorts pulls the full transcript of any YouTube video from a single link, with no browser extension to install and nothing to download. It works even when a video has no manual captions, falling back to auto-generated subtitles, and you can export the result as a plain-text transcript or an SRT subtitle file to reuse in your editor, your blog, or your own captions. Paste the link and the whole spoken text is in front of you in seconds.
More than text on a page
Once you have the transcript, MyShorts puts it to work: the same link gives you 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 moments that matter. So instead of copying a transcript into three other tools, you read it, search it, and act on it in one place — which is why creators, students and researchers use MyShorts as their YouTube transcript tool of choice.
One video, everything
MyShorts does more than this.
The same YouTube link powers every one of these.
