About the tool

YouTranscripts is a free web tool that turns supported YouTube videos into text. Paste a YouTube URL and it returns a transcript from the video's available captions. You can read it with timestamps or as paragraphs, search inside it and copy it. From the transcript you can create an AI summary in three lengths: Quick, Detailed or Very Detailed. You can also translate the transcript into 17 languages and download it as TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT or CSV. The interface is available in 13 languages, and a Chrome extension for transcripts on YouTube pages is announced. Transcripts are free and need no account where the video supports it. AI summaries need a free account with no card. There is no published monthly limit, but a Fair Usage Policy rules out bulk or automated use. Videos without usable captions, and private videos, may not work.
