A simpler way to read video transcripts.

YT Transcript is an independent web tool designed to turn available YouTube captions into clean, readable text. It helps users review spoken content without repeatedly scrubbing through a video.

What the tool does

Paste a public YouTube URL and the service attempts to retrieve caption tracks made available for that video. When a transcript is accessible, you can read it with timestamps, jump to specific moments, copy the text, or export it as TXT or SRT.

What the tool does not do

This version does not download or permanently store YouTube videos and does not generate speech-to-text from the video's audio. Availability depends on the video's captions and on YouTube allowing the caption data to be retrieved.
