Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work on videos without official subtitles?
Yes, if the video has YouTube's auto-generated captions, those can be extracted too.
Can I get the transcript in a specific language?
If the video offers multiple subtitle languages, you can switch between them using the language dropdown.
Is this the same as downloading the video?
No, this only extracts the text of the subtitles — the video itself is never downloaded.
