Extract YouTube video transcripts online for free. Pull the full text transcript from any YouTube video that has captions enabled — perfect for research, content repurposing, accessibility, language learning, and citing video sources. Just paste a YouTube URL and get the complete timestamped transcript in seconds.
Drop any YouTube video link (youtube.com or youtu.be) into the input field. Both auto-generated and human-uploaded captions are supported.
The tool fetches the video's caption track and assembles the full text with timestamps. Multi-language captions can be selected if available.
Copy the transcript to your clipboard or download it as a .txt file. Use it for notes, blog posts, subtitles, or further translation.
Transcripts make video content searchable, quotable, and accessible. Use them to repurpose long-form videos into blog posts, pull quotes for social media, or create written notes for studying.
Researchers and journalists need transcripts to cite video sources accurately. A transcript with timestamps lets readers jump to the exact moment a quote was said.
Language learners benefit from reading along with native speech. Transcripts in the original language paired with the audio dramatically accelerate comprehension and vocabulary acquisition.
