YouTube transcript generator

Turn YouTube videos and Shorts into editable text. Review the result, keep the source link, and export TXT or timed SRT subtitles.

This capability is in development preview. It has not been verified as a publicly available production service.

Loading your transcripts…

Start with a public video

Paste a public YouTube video URL in the form on this page. Sign in to continue, review the estimate when shown, and submit. Processing depends on video availability and the enabled service.

What to check on YouTube

YouTube captions may be creator-written or automatically generated. Check the selected language and compare names, numbers and speaker changes with playback.

What you get

A completed task includes transcript text and its source link. Timed segments can be exported as SRT. When speech recognition supplies timing, treat it as approximate and adjust it before publishing.

When a link does not work

Confirm the video still opens. Private, deleted, age-restricted or region-restricted content may be unavailable. Do not repeatedly submit the same failed task without checking its error.

Questions, answered

Can I use this without an account?

Sign in to submit a task and access saved transcripts. Pasting a URL alone does not submit a task.

Is the transcript guaranteed to be accurate?

No. Audio quality, language, accents and caption quality affect the result. Always check critical passages against the video.
